Is kilograms x meters squares the same as joules?

No
but if u multiply Kg*m^2 with 1/s^2 u will get joule
HOW?
newtons second law force= mass * acceleration
that is F=ma
and Work=force* distance=F*s=mas (WORK & ENERGY have same unit joule ask why?_)
here unit of mass is kg,
unit of is acceleration m/s^2,
unit of distance is m,
multiplying them u will get kgm^2/s^2
but if u multiply Kg*m^2 with 1/s^2 u will get joule

An example in dimensional analysis.
The Joule is the SI unit of energy [E].
One form of energy, kinetic energy, is
KE = ½mv²
m is in dimensions of mass [M], which in SI, is measured in kg
v is in dimensions of velocity, which is distance/time [L/T], which in SI, are measured in m and s, so velocity is in SI units of m/s
½ is dimensionless, being a mathematical constant
So the dimension of energy is
[E] ~ [M][V]² ~ [ML²/T²]
which in SI, is therefore measured in
kg•m²/s²

no
a joule is a kilogram meter squared per second squared
kgm²/s²
a joule is a kilogram meter squared per second squared

You must be too stupid to go look up units!
