  2. Definitions • Newton (N)—The amount of force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second per second. • Joule (J)--The energy exerted by the force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one meter. • BTU—British thermal unit, which is equal to 1.06 kilojoules. • Watt (W)--Equal to one joule of energy per second. • Kilowatt (KW)—1,000 watts and equal to about 1.34 horse power. The average U.S. household consumes about 1 kW per hour; about 8,900 kW per year. (There are 8,760 hours in a year.) • Megawatt (MW)—One million watts. For example, U.S. nuclear power plants have net summer capacities of 500-to-1300 MW. • In January 2010, total U.S. production of electric power from all sources was 360,302 thousand Megawatts (i.e., 360,302 Gigawatts or 360.3 Terawatts)
