Question
what is the unit for force?
drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above
n (newtons) g (grams) m/s (meters per second) lbs (pounds)
Force is defined as mass times acceleration. In the International System of Units (SI), mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in meters per second squared ($m/s^{2}$). The unit for force, which is $kg\cdot m/s^{2}$, is named the Newton (N) in honor of Sir Isaac Newton. Grams (g) are a unit of mass. Meters per second ($m/s$) is a unit of speed. Pounds (lbs) is a non - SI unit of force but in the context of standard science education (especially when SI units are emphasized), Newton is the more appropriate answer.
