Physics I / Work, Energy, and the Work-Energy Theorem
Practice question · Match the pairs

Match each quantity to its SI unit.

  • Work
  • Power
  • Force
  • Momentum
  • Watt (W)
  • kg·m/s
  • Joule (J)
  • Newton (N)
Hints
  1. Build each unit from the definition rather than recalling the name.
  2. Energy per unit time and momentum have quite different units.
Show the answer
  • Work Joule (J)
  • Power Watt (W)
  • Force Newton (N)
  • Momentum kg·m/s
Why

Work and energy share the joule. Power is energy per time (W = J/s), and momentum has its own unit, kg·m/s, it is not a form of energy.
