1 Newton is the force that accelerates 1 kg of mass at the rate of 1 m per sec^2.

In the cgs system, the unit of force is the dyne. That's the force that accelerates 1 gram of mass at the rate of 1 cm per sec^2.

So 1 Newton of force is 100,000 dynes.

Force is a vector, it has direction, it can move objects and it was well described with laws by physicist Isaac Newton by which the units of force were named Newtons (N).

Hope this helps.
