A Newton is a kilogram meter per second squared [kg m/s^2]. It is a measure of force, that is, if you apply one Newton of force to one kg, it will accelerate at a rate of 1 m/s every second.
A Joule is a Newton-meter [Nm]. It is a measure of work, that is, if you apply a force of 1 Newton across a distance of one meter, you have done one Joule of work.
A Watt is a Joule per second [J/s]. It is a measure of power, that is, if you do 1 Joule of work every second, then your power output is 1 Watt.
The prefix k means kilo, and indicates a multiple of 1000.
Hence 200 kW is 200 [1000 kg/m/s^2 m/s] or 200 000 [kg m^2/s^3].
