The joule is equivalent to?
Kg m\(^{2}\) s\(^{-1}\)
Kg\(^{2}\) m s\(^{-2}\)
Kg m\(^{2}\) s\(^{-2}\)
Kg m s\(^{-1}\)

Explanation

Joule as the unit of work done or energy used.

Force = mass × acceleration
 Work = Force × Distance
 Work = mass x acceleration x distance

Joule = kg × \(\frac{m}{s^2}\) × m

→ kg m\(^2\) s\(^{-2}\)
