You cannot.
A kilogram is a measure of mass while a Joule is a measure of energy. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Kilograms (kg) and joules (J) are units of different physical properties. Kilograms measure mass, while joules measure energy. You can't convert directly from kilograms to joules without a specific context or equation relating the two units, such as with the equation E=mc^2 for converting mass to energy.
The 'K' in 'KJ' stands for "kilo". That's the multiplier "1,000" .
So 1 KJ = 1,000 joules.
The same 'K' is also found in
-- Kilometer (distance, 1,000 meters)
-- Kph (speed, kilometer per hour)
-- Kilohertz (frequency, 1,000 hertz)
-- Kilopascal (pressure, 1,000 pascals)
-- Kilowatt (power, 1,000 watts)
-- Kilowatt-hour (energy, 1,000 watt-hours)
The calorific value of diesel is around 42.7 Mega Joules per kilogram.
A 150-pound man (68 kg) contains approximately 2.8 x 10^6 Joules of energy, based on the average energy content of the human body being around 10 MJ/kg.
There are 3.6 million joules in one kilowatt-hour.
Momentum does not have the same units as the others. Kinetic energy is measured in joules, potential energy in joules, work in joules, but momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).
The work done in lifting the object is given by the formula: work = force x distance. To find the force, we use the formula: force = mass x gravity. The force needed to lift a 21 kg object is 21 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 (gravity) = 205.8 N. Therefore, the work done is 205.8 N x 7 m = 1440.6 Joules.
