Sports Biomechanics
A newton is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton, which quantifies the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This fundamental unit plays a crucial role in understanding the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration as defined by Newton's laws of motion, providing a foundation for analyzing motion and dynamics in sports biomechanics.
congrats on reading the definition of Newton. now let's actually learn it.
