  2. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    Imperial units. 0.224809 lbf. The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as , the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second squared. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of motion .

  3. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs. — CGPM [ 6][ 7]

  4. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) [1] is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second ( kg⋅m/s ). One newton-second corresponds to a one- newton force applied for one second. It can be used to identify the resultant ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (from French Système international d'unités ), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement. Coordinated by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (abbreviated BIPM from French: Bureau international des ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force

    The kilogram-force ( kgf or kgF ), or kilopond ( kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) [ 1] and is deprecated for most uses. [citation needed] The kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one ...

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics, can be paraphrased as follows: A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by ...
