Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.

∙ 12y agoIt is because of his great lifelong contribution to science and becaues he was more awesome than anyone else at the time.
He was knighted in April 1705 by Queen Anne
