What is newtons?
A newton is a unit used to measure force. They are named after Sir Isaac Newton.
Which unit of measure is used to indicate Ecell?
The unit of measure used to indicate Ecell, which is the cell potential or electromotive force of a cell, is volts (V).
What is the unit of force used to measure weight?
Some units of force are: -- newton -- ounce -- pound-force -- ton -- pennyweight
What is the unit used to measure weight in science?
Traditional pounds are used to measure weight, but ounces and tons can be used as well.the unit which is used to measure the weight is the newton or "N"'Weight' is the name given to the force due to the pull of gravity acting upon an object, and is measured in newtons.All matter has what we call 'mass' which is constant, and the pull of gravity acting on it gives it what we call 'weight' which varies -depending upon where in the world you live. In the SI System, to measure mass we use an unit called the 'kilogram' whereas, to measure weight we use an unit called the 'newton'.A newton = 0.102 kilogram force, which is the same force as 0.224 pound force. A kilogram force is an obsolete metric unit of force.The distinction between 'mass' and 'weight' becomes very important if you are a physicist or an engineer , and many formulas used by these professionals to make calculations, require the inclusion of the force of gravity at the place where these calculations will be made.
The unit used to measure force?
The SI unit of force is the Newton. It's the force needed to accelerate1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second2.1 Newton of force is about 3.6 ounces.1 pound of force is about 4.45 Newtons.

Which computer device The unit KIPS is used to measure the speed of?
Kip was an obsolete unit of force.
What is the SI unit used to measure force and its abbreviation?
Force is measured in newton. Weight is a force; therefore it is also measured in newton.
