How would one convert newtons second law F equals MA from metric?

Answer 1

The formula is always the same; the units may change.

In metric (SI) units, you would normally use kilograms for mass, and meters/second2 for acceleration. This naturally results in units of mass x meters/second2 for the force - this happens to be the definition of the Newton.

In any other units, you will similarly have to multiply mass times acceleration to get force; for example, if mass is in pounds, and acceleration in feet/second2, then the force would be in pounds x feet / seconds2. You would have to check whether this unit has a special name - or perhaps you need a conversion factor to convert to some other unit of force. That depends on the specific system of units used.

Answer 2

To convert Newton's second law ( F = ma ) from metric units (kg, m, s), you could express force (F) in newtons (N), mass (m) in kilograms (kg), and acceleration (a) in meters per second squared (m/s^2). This equation states that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration.
