newtons
Measures of push
Newtons are units of force in the metric system, named after physicist Isaac Newton.
One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter per second squared.
The unit appears in physics and engineering contexts: The rocket engine produces 500,000 newtons of thrust.
