BOne metre
COne second
DOne gram
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. One metre
1. The joule is the SI unit for energy, work and heat alike.
2. A joule is defined as the amount of energy used when a force of 1 newton moves an object 1 metre.
3. One joule is equivalent to 1 kilogram metre squared per second squared.
4. That combination is also called one newton metre.
