Metre Per Second Squared




The SI derived unit of force, the Newton , is equal to one " Kilogram metre per second squared", meaning that a force of one newton is needed to give an acceleration of one metre per second squared to a mass of one kilogram. This is an illustration of Newton's second law (see Newton's Laws Of Motion ) in its simplest form, where acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
