SUMMARY
The physical quantity denoted by ##\mathrm{J\cdot N\cdot W^{-1}\cdot kg^{-1}}## simplifies to ##\mathrm{s\cdot N\cdot kg^{-1}}##, where ##N## represents the Newton, a unit of force. The Newton can be expressed in terms of fundamental units as ##\mathrm{kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}##. Therefore, the expression can be further simplified to ##\mathrm{s\cdot kg^{-1}\cdot kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}##, ultimately leading to ##\mathrm{s\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}##, which indicates a relationship involving velocity and acceleration.
