Answer:

Joules=F*d, watts= J/s, Kwh= kw*h(time)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know... what are we measuring with the different units:

Joules: This unit is used to measure energy and work.


EnerKinec=(1)/(2) * m[kg]*v^(2) [m^(2)/s^(2)  ]\\\\Enpot=m[kg]*g[m/s^(2)]*h[m]\\ \\Work=F[N]*d[m]

Watts: This unit is used to measure power, and is related to energy and work when we use the time. That is, power equals work or energy per unit of time.


Power = (work[J])/(time[s]) = [watts]

KWh: This unit is used to measure the amount of power consumed, it is very common to see it on electric energy bills.


Powerconsumed=Power*hoursworked\\\\Powerconsumed= power[kw]*hoursworked[hr]=[Kw-h]
