Yes, it is also known as the Watt
The Joule is a unit of energy, while the Watt is a unit of power. Joule is the alternate name for a Newton-meter of energy, and Watt is the alternate name for a Newton-meter per second of power. This means that one Watt is one Joule per second; a 100-Watt light bulb converts 100 Joules of electrical energy every second into heat energy and light energy.
New answer - J=kg*m^2/s^2. J/kg=m^2/s^2 The definition of Joule is N * m (Newtons times meters) The definition of Newton is kg * m / s2 (kilograms times meters divided by seconds squared) Dividing the unit Joule by kilograms leaves meters per second squared (or meters mer second per second)
There is no equivalence. A Joule per second is a measure of power which is equivalent to a Watt. Not a Watt per second or a Watt per hour etc, just a Watt. The two units mentioned in the question measure different things (though I am not sure what Watts per hour measures) and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts1 watt = 1 joule per second1 hour = 3,600 seconds(1,500 kilowatt-hour) x (1,000 watt / kilowatt) x (1 joule / watt-second) x (3,600 second / hour) =(1,500 x 1,000 x 3,600) x (kilowatt - hour - watt - joule- second) / (kilowatt - watt - second - hour)= 5,400,000,000 joules
