An object's weight is measured in which SI unit?
A
newtons
B
meters
C
joules
D
kilograms
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
Recall that force in the SI system is measured in newtons (N).
Remember that 1 newton is defined as 1 kilogram meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg \cdot m/s^{2}).
Recognize that meters (m) is a unit of length, joules (J) is a unit of energy, and kilograms (kg) is a unit of mass, not force.
Therefore, the correct SI unit for weight is newtons (N).
