Given F = 1 Newton (N) and m = 1 kg, we can calculate the acceleration: a = F / m a = 1 N / 1 kg The unit of Newton is defined as 1 kg·m/s². So, a = (1 kg·m/s²) / 1 kg = 1 m/s². The object will move in the direction of the force with an acceleration of 1 m/s².
When a force of 1 newton acts on a mass of 1 kg which is able to move freely, the object moves in the direction of force with a/an
