joule. n. 1. (Units) the derived SI unit of work or energy; the work done when the point of application of a force of 1 newton is displaced through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force. 1 joule is equivalent to 1 watt-second, 10 7 ergs, 0.2390 calories, or 0.738 foot-pound.
SI Unit. The SI unit for work is the same as the unit for energy, the joule. The joule is known as a derived unit, meaning it is formed from a mathematical operation on other base metric units.Specifically, the joule is defined as a force of one newton moving through a distance of one meter, or a Newton-meter (N-m).he units science uses to measure work are the same as the units used to measure the energy required to do the work. In the SI system of measurement, more commonly known as the metric system, there is a specific unit allocated to both work and energy.
