the Newton (N)
the Newton (N)
The unit of force in the SI (metric) system is the Newton. It's used to describe any force, no matter where the force came from. "Weight" is a good example of a gravitational force.
A slightly garbled question, but is the unit of weight due to gravity the newton, yes. Weight is the force exerted on a body by gravity, the unit for all forces is the newton. Mass is measured in kilograms, mass is a body's resistance to acceleration. In everyday usage mass and weight are virtually interchangable, since the acceleration mass resists is that due to gravity. So weight is measured in newtons, but kilograms are used as a measure of weight on everyday language.
Weight is a measure of the force exerted on a body by gravity. It can be measured in any recognized unit, either metric or old fashioned.
The common term used to describe the force of gravity on an object is its weight. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on that object. So, mass does not directly describe how heavy an object is, but it does influence its weight.
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity.
The metric unit used to measure weight is the kilogram (kg).
