Answer

Energy

Work Step by Step

Work is equal to a change in energy over a change in time. Thus, multiplying time onto the other side of the equation, we obtain: $$ E = W \Delta t$$ The units of work times the unit of times gives Watt seconds. This is equal to energy, so we see that Watt seconds is a unit of energy.
