    Energy (kinetic) is the scalar unit and it's represented by mv^2 / 2.

    Torque is the vector unit and it's a VECTOR. The torque is the vector product of the force (which is vector) and displacement which is again a vector.

    Energy is not the same as torque! You can't measure the power (damage) by torque - at least not in this direct way.
    Thanks, It's been about 6 years since I've taken any type of a physics class.
