How many newtons of force are represented by the following amount: [tex]3 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2[/tex]?

Select the correct answer:

a) 6 newtons
b) 3 newtons
c) 1 newton

1 newton means 1 kg-m/sec²
3 kg-m/sec² = 3 newtons

The expression 3 kg ⋅ m/s 2 represents a force of 3 newtons according to Newton's Second Law of Motion. The calculation shows that 1 kg·m/s² equals 1 newton, leading us to the conclusion that 3 kg ⋅ m/s 2 = 3 newtons . Thus, the correct answer is option b.
