Are joule per second and newton meter per second the same unit?

Yes, both units measure power and are equivalent because one newton meter equals one joule.

When should I use newton meter per second instead of joule per second?

Use newton meter per second when expressing power related to mechanical work, torque, or rotational motion.

Can this tool convert power from torque and angular speed directly?

This tool converts units directly but does not calculate power from torque and angular speed; you need to provide the power value first.
