Answer: joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a unit used to measure energy or work. One joule is the amount of energy required to produce one watt of power for one second. It's also the work done by a force equal to one newton exerted over a distance of one meter.

Hope this helps!
