Question

what is the unit of force? kilogram (kg) newton (n)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The unit of force is named after Sir Isaac Newton. According to Newton's second law of motion, force \(F = ma\) (where \(m\) is mass in kilograms and \(a\) is acceleration in meters per second squared). The SI unit for force is derived from this formula. When \(m = 1\space kg\) and \(a= 1\space m/s^{2}\), \(F = 1\space kg\cdot m/s^{2}\), and this combination \(kg\cdot m/s^{2}\) is defined as 1 Newton (\(N\)). Kilogram (\(kg\)) is the unit of mass, not force.

Answer:

Newton (N)
