Convert kilowatt to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to kilowatt.
How to Convert Kilowatt to Newton Meter/second
1 kW = 1000 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 kW to N*m/s:
15 kW = 15 × 1000 N*m/s = 15000 N*m/s

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
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.
