Question

A kilogram is a unit of mass and when multiplied by meters per second

Answer 1

Answer:

it yields a derived unit known as Newton, which is the unit of Force.

Explanation:

The formula for force is given by Newton's Second Law, which states that whenever an unbalanced force is applied to a body, it produces an acceleration in the body in the direction of force.

$F = ma$

where, F = Force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now, we substitute the respective S.I units of each quantity in equation:

F = Newton (N)

m = kilogram (kg)

a = acceleration = m/s²

Therefore,

$N = (kg)(m/s^2)$

So, it is clear from above expression that:

When kilogram is multiplied by meter per second squared, it yields a derived unit known as Newton, which is the unit of Force.
