In physics, the variables force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a) are typically measured using the following units:
-
F (Force): The standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton (N). One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
-
m (Mass): The standard unit of mass in the SI system is the kilogram (kg).
-
a (Acceleration): The standard unit of acceleration in the SI system is meters per second squared (m/s²).
So, to summarize:
- F = newtons (N)
- m = kilograms (kg)
- a = meters per second squared (m/s²)
