Work is measured in the same units as energy, which is joules (J) in the International System of Units (SI) or foot-pounds (ft-lb) in the imperial system. Work is defined as the transfer of energy when a force acts on an object and displaces it in the direction of the force.
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).
Energy is the ability to do work . It is measured in Joules.
The units of dispersion are dependent on the units of the data being measured. Common measures of dispersion include variance and standard deviation, which have square units and the same units as the data being measured, respectively. Another measure, such as the coefficient of variation, is a unitless measure of dispersion relative to the mean.
Time is typically measured using units such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
Work is typically measured in joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ). It can also be measured in other units such as calories or watt-hours depending on the context.
