Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is 1 kilojoule/second equal to 1000 newton meter/second?
-
Because 1 kilojoule/second corresponds to 1000 joules per second and since one newton meter equals one joule, 1 kJ/s equals 1000 N·m/s.
-
What types of power measurements can use this conversion?
-
It is useful for electrical and mechanical power ratings including motors, turbines, HVAC systems, and any application involving mechanical work rate.
-
Are there any limits to using this conversion?
-
Yes, users should ensure unit consistency and understand this conversion does not capture differences between steady and transient power conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Kilojoule per second (kJ/s)
-
A unit of power measuring the energy transfer rate equal to 1000 joules per second, equivalent to one kilowatt.
-
Newton meter per second (N·m/s)
-
A power unit representing the rate of doing work or energy transfer, where one newton meter per second equals one joule per second.
-
Power
-
The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
