The force acting on an object moving with constant acceleration is given by F = ma, where m is the mass of the object measured in kg, a is the acceleration in m/s2, and F is the force acting on the object, measured in newtons. What is 1 N described in base units?

Kenyon Mcguire · Answer 1

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kg at the rate of 1 m/s².

1 newton = 1 kilogram-meter/second²

Kaia Cole · Answer 2

The three base units that are important here are mass (kilograms), distance (meters), and time (seconds). because force (F) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s^2), 1 newton (N) of force = 1 kgm/s^2
