Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is measured in Newtons?
A
weight
B
momentum
C
mass
D
acceleration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Weight is a measure ofthe force of gravity on a physical object and is measured in newtons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Force is measured in newtons. The newton is the unit used for force in the metric system.

Detailed explanation-3: -weight (W) is measured in newtons (N) mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg) gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)

Detailed explanation-4: -Mass is measured in kilograms; even though we usually talk about weight in kilograms, strictly speaking it should be measured in newtons, the units of force. Mass is a measurement of an object’s tendency to resist changing its state of motion, known as inertia.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the weight of a body is the gravitational force on it, so the weight is a force and the SI unit of it is the newton.
