The newton is the force needed to accelerate a 1 kg system at:
A10 m/s squared
B9.8 m/s squared
C100 m/s squared
D1 m/s squared
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 1 m/s squared
1. Force units come from mass, length and time.
2. One newton gives 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s squared.
3. One newton is about 0.225 pounds.
