The equation for force is force is equal to mass times acceleration or F = ma where Force or F is measured in Newtons or N (which is also kilogram-meter per second squared), Mass or m is measured in kilograms or kg, and acceleration is measured in meters per second or m/s2. This leads to an answer in kilogram-meter per second squared or kg- m/s2, So if we multiply a body with a mass of 15 kilograms to a rate of 8 meters per second, we get 120 kilogram-meter per second squared.
