Answer:

Depends on the gravitational force. On Earth, one pound equals 4.41N.

Explanation:

The formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion is F=ma, which is Force = mass × acceleration.

The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg), so we'll have to convert one pound to kilograms. For practical purposes, one pound equals 0.45kg.

The gravitational force of the Earth is 9.8m/s^2. It is worth noting that each planetary body has its own gravitational force in respect to its mass.

Force = mass × acceleration = 0.45kg × 9.8m/s^2 = 4.41N

This number is only applicable on Earth, and may and will change on a planetary body with a mass different from Earth's.
