Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

58% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
