Yes you can convert that, if you know the circumference of the wheel.

For example, if a wheel is exactly 1 meter in circumference, than RPM = meters/minute. If the wheel is 2.5 meters in circumference than 1 RPM = 2.5 meters/minute

RPM is revolutions/minute. The distance the wheel travels (in meters) in one revolution is how many meters it travels.

Thanks a lot for your help!

One more thing

a watt is one Nm/s isnt it?

well could i convert a Nm, into Nm/s and hence watts?

If you supply the missing dimension of time then you can.

Power = Energy / Time

You need two to calculate the third.
