The joule is defined in the SI system as the work done in moving 1 meter against a force of 1 newton, so yes one newton.meter is one joule. The joule is the fundamental unit of work or energy in the mechanical sense, but it can also be equated with thermal energy via the mechanical equivalent of heat, 1 calorie = 4.1868 joules. From the above mechanical definition, the Joule has dimensions of [M] x [L2] x [T-2], since the Newton as a force has dimensions of [M] x [L] x [T-2]
CommentCare must be taken not to confuse newton metre in the sense of work (where the force acts in the same direction as the distance travelled) with the newton metre used to measure torque (where the force acts at right angles to a radius of rotation).
No, the mass of an object does not have an effect on Newton's third law. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction regardless of the mass of the objects involved.
Forces are measured in newtons because it is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). One newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. This makes newtons a convenient and consistent unit for measuring forces in physics.
Newtons.
Newton's second law is F=ma where 'F' is Force (in newtons, N), 'm' is mass (in kilograms, kg) and 'a' is acceleration (in meters per second per second, ms^-2) you can replace the symbols in the equation with their respective units: N = kg * ms^-2 so one newton is equal to one kilogram-meter-per second-per second.
Yes it is . . . I disagree. A newton is the unit of force in the MKS system. It has dimensions MLT-2 . Mass has dimensions M, and it is measured in kilograms.
A newton is the force required to provide a mass of one kg with an acceleration of one meter per second squared.
Isaac Newton is credited with defining gravity in his work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" published in 1687. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Yes, according to Newton's Second Law, F = ma. This means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration; also that, with more force, there will be more acceleration. This can be used to define the unit of force, as it is actually done in the SI: Force (in Newton) = (mass) (acceleration) = kg. x m / sec^2.
The three Laws of Motion
Weight = mass x gravity. Assuming normal Earth gravity, you can divide the weight (in newton) by 9.8 to get the mass (in kilograms).
A newton is used to measure force, while a kilogram is used to measure mass. Force is the product of mass and acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion.
