Best Answer

Newton's second law is F=ma where 'F' is Force (in newtons, N), 'm' is mass (in kilograms, kg) and 'a' is acceleration (in meters per second per second, ms^-2)

you can replace the symbols in the equation with their respective units:

N = kg * ms^-2

so one newton is equal to one kilogram-meter-per second-per second.
