Best Answer

A kilogram is a unit of measurement for WEIGHT.

A newton (in the meter-kilogram-second system) is the unit of FORCE required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second, equal to 100,000 dynes.

Is there a standard for the Newton?

No, there is no standard Newton in a cabinet somewhere. The Newton is defined using the standards for the meter, kilogram and second.

How many kilogram in 1 newton or Newton to kilogram?

1 newton is 1 kg-m/s^2, there is no conversion. A kg is a measure of weight, while a Newton is a measure of force.

What is the gravitational force of any object near the Earth's surface?

About 9.8 Newton/kilogram (9.8 Newton force on every kilogram).


What is the relationship between mass and weight using the correct units?

Weight = mass x gravity. Weight (in newton) = mass (in kilogram) x gravity (in meter/second2, equivalent to newton/kilogram). Note: close to Earth's surface, gravity is about 9.8 meter/second2.


When did Sir Isaac Newton invent the newton meter?

He didn't. The newton unit is defined as a kilogram-meter per second squared, meaning it does not predate the invention of the kilogram, meter, and (scientifically defined) second. The international prototype kilogram was standardized in 1889, so the newton does not predate this year, at least.


How many newton equal to one kilogram?

1kg of mass = 9.81 newtons 1kg = 9.81 newtons 1 newton = 0.101971621 kilogram-force 1 kilogram-force = 9.80665 newton Newton is not a unit of mass like the kilogram, it is a measure of force. A Newton is the amount of force that it takes to accelerate a mass at a rate of 1ms-2 The Earths gravity typically pulls 1kg. with a force of about 9.81N (N=Newton) but it varies a little depending where you are on Earth. So on Earth 0.102 Kg or 102 grams is one whole Newton


What is the unit scientists use when measuring force?

The SI unit of force is the 'newton'. 1 Newton = 1 kilogram-meter per second2 A strain gauge is a common measuring device and is highly portable, which is a good thing when you wish to measure the pulling force of a harbour tug, the lifting capacity of a crane, or the mass of a truck on the highway.
