So,

Recall Newton's Second Law of Motion: force = mass x acceleration

Also recall:

acceleration = velocity/time
velocity = distance/time

Distance is expressed in meters.
Time is expressed in seconds.
Mass is expressed in kilograms.

v = m/s
a = m/s^2
F = m * a
F = kg * m/s^2


F= (kg*m)/(s^2)

The unit for force is the Newton (N).

Answer:

Newton is the unit of force, abbreviated as "N"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us understand the given units:

a) m/s: it is meter per second. It is SI unit of speed or velocity.

b) m/s: it is meter per second square. It is SI unit of acceleration (velocity per second).

c) N : it is unit of force. It stands for Newton.It is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared.

d) N/s: it is newton per second. It is unit of momentum.
