newton
One kilogram-meter per second-squared
A newton is the SI unit of force—the amount needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter per second squared.
Named after the physicist Isaac Newton, it appears in scientific contexts: The rocket produced 500,000 newtons of thrust.
Abbreviated N. (Capitalized Newton is the surname.)
