Question

what unit is force measured in?
a newtons
b $\mathrm{m/s^2}$
c seconds
d midi-chlorians
e pounds
f kilograms
g skywalkers

Explanation:

To determine the unit of force, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Newtons (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as \(1\,\text{N} = 1\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}^2\), so this is a standard unit for force.
• Option B: \(\text{m/s}^2\) is the unit of acceleration (rate of change of velocity), not force.
• Option C: Seconds (s) is the unit of time, not force.
• Option D: Midi - chlorions are a fictional concept from Star Wars, not a unit of force.
• Option E: Pounds (lb) is a unit of force in the imperial system, but the most fundamental and widely recognized SI unit for force is Newtons. However, since the question is likely looking for the SI unit or the most common scientific unit, Newtons is more appropriate.
• Option F: Kilograms (kg) is the unit of mass, not force.
• Option G: Skywalkers are a fictional family from Star Wars, not a unit of force.

Answer:

A. Newtons
