Force is measured in units of newtons, N, where 1 N = 1 kg · m/s2. What are the units of momentum p in terms of a newton and another fundamental SI unit? (Use the following as necessary: N, m, and s.)
Added by Adam W.
Step 1
We need to express momentum in terms of newtons and other fundamental SI units, so we need to find a way to combine these units to get newtons. We know that force is measured in newtons, and force is defined as the rate of change of momentum with time: F = Show more…

What are the basic SI units $(\mathrm{kg}, \mathrm{m}, \mathrm{s})$ for force according to Newton's second law $\sum \mathrm{F} \rightarrow \mathrm{ext}=\mathrm{ma} \rightarrow ? \sum \vec{F}_{\mathrm{ext}}=m \vec{a} ?$
force is measured in newton's (N). A newton is base unit in the metric system. What is a newton equal to in terms of units of mass and acceleration?

The unit of force is the newton (N). One newton is the force required to accelerate a 1-kg object at a rate of 1 m/s2. Suppose each fan supplies a force of 2 N.
