Explanation

• The SI unit of force is the newton (N).
• 1 N = the force needed to accelerate 1 kg of mass by 1 m/s²
• Derived unit: N = kg·m/s²
• Named after Sir Isaac Newton
• Based on F = ma (Newton's second law)

Additional information:

1. The metre, unit of length — symbol m
2. The kilogram, unit of mass — symbol kg
