Beware of Units Used:
In any calculations covering quantitative physics, it is important to
beware of the units of
measurement used! The standard physical units are given below. A force
of 1 newton will accelerate mass of 1 kilogram at 1 meters per second
per second. The same relationships apply to the other two systems of units.
Care must be taken to not mix up the units, to avoid incorrect results.
