The newton is a derived unit.
There are three basic measurement systems, the MKS, the CGS, and the FPS system (although others exist.). In the MKS system, the basic units are meters, kilograms, and seconds, in the CGS system, the units are the centimeter, gram, and second, and in the FPS system, the fundamental units are the foot, pound, and second. If you consistently plug data using one system into many formulae, the answer will be in the units for that system.
Newtons are the unit of force in the MKS system, also called the SI (System Internationale) system. Force is mass times acceleration. Consequently, a newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second per second. If you were using the FPS system, a force of one poundal is required to accelerate a pound mass by one foot per second per second.
Now that the difference between a fundamental and a derived unit has been explained, it's easy enough to point out that the Newton unit was legitimized by the 1946 meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures, and it was named the Newton, in honor of Sir Isaac Newton, in 1948. Sir Isaac Newton is considered the father of classical mechanics.
There have been no new scientific laws proposed within the last century, largely because all scientific laws have been proven false; we now have theories which give better predictions of observed reality, especially in extreme conditions. However, although Newton's mechanics are invalid for subatomic particles and vast galaxies, they are still highly useful when dealing with the masses, speeds, and distances we encounter in everyday life.
The measurement unit "newtons" is named after Sir Isaac newton, who was a renowned physicist and mathematician. Newtons are used to measure force and are derived from Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration.
It is calculated in Newtons.
No one discovered them, they are derived units in the SI system of measurement. The newton is a "unit of measure", so it was defined/invented as part of the System Internationale measurement system, begin in 1960.
A downward force of 6 Newtons is a weight measurement. It is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.
resistance will be in newtons, this force is linked to the square of the velocity, ie if you go twice as fast you' ll encounter four times the resistance
No, because a newton is a measurement of force. You can only convert units that measure the same object. For example you can convert meters to feet because they are both measurements of distance.

"10 newtons" is a force, equal to about 21/4 pounds.
Newtons are a measurement of force, whereas grams are a measurement of mass. They are related by the equation F = ma, where Force = mass x acceleration.
It is calculated in Newtons.
newtons is a measurement of weight where as meters is a measurement of length they can not be measured into each other in other words the porblem is impossible to find an answer to
newtons are how high the gravity of a planet is which relates to measurement of of an object's weight not distance
torque * newtons per period.
It is named for Sir Isaac Newton who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation.
