Robert Yang · Answer 1

kgm/s² or Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, F = ma

Force = mass * acceleration

Unit of mass is kilogram (kg)

Unit of acceleration is m/s²

According to the formula, we can say:

Unit of force = unit of mass * unit of acceleration

Unit of force = kg*m/s²

Unit of force = kgm/s² or Newton
