Best Answer

A "newton" is a unit of force. Other units of force are pound, ton, and dyne. (Not kilogram.)

When you push on 1 kilogram of mass with 1 newton of force, the kilogram accelerates

at the rate of (1 more meter per second) per second.

1 pound of force is about the same as 4.45 newtons.

1 newton is about the same as 3.6 ounces of force.
