* Sir Isaac Newton. We are not aware that Sir Isaac newton has a new name. * The term 'newtons' (mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared) for a measure of force is also still used. As there is a move towards using standard SI metric terminology, some prefer to use alternative ways of indicating force, such as kg·m/s². Also, in view of the huge numbers (in 'newtons') that some forces exert, it is easier to express them as kilonewtons (1 kN = 1,000 newtons), or in other terms. Smaller forces are sometimes expressed as dynes ( 1 dyne = 10−5 N).
