Question

when you can say the force acting on a body is 1 newton?

Answer 1

Metric unit of force, used also as a unit of weight (force due to gravity). One newton is defined as the force that will accelerate a mass of one kilogram at the rate of one meter per second per second, it equals about 0.22 pounds or 0.10 kilograms of force, 7.23 poundals, or 105 dynes. Named after the UK scientist Sir Issac Newton (1642-1727).

Answer 2

f=ma
so when is f = 1?
when ma=1 so when m= 1/a and vice versa.

Answer 3

1 newton = 10 raised to 5 dyne , which 100000 dyne and not 105 dyne

Answer 4

If a body of mass 1kg is accelerated with 1 m/s^2 then we say the force applied is 1 newton..

Answer 5

we say so wen somebody cuts you into a number equal to ur mass , each equally massive, and throwing these pieces at 1ms^-2 acceleration
