Why Is the Newton the Standard Unit of Force?

The Newton is a basic unit we use to measure force.

It tells us how much push or pull we need to move 1 kilogram of stuff at a speed of 1 meter per second squared.

Here’s the simple formula:
F = m × a
(Force = mass × acceleration)

So, why do we use this?
Because it helps us calculate things in a way that makes sense in everyday life.

Using Newtons allows everyone to understand forces clearly and in the same way!
