Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
