The newton is the SI unit of force. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at a rate of 1 meter per second squared. For comparison, assuming normal Earth gravity, a mass of 1 kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newton.

What is it that its units are newtons per meters?

The units newtons per meter refer to the quantity known as a spring constant, which represents the stiffness of a spring. It describes how much force is needed to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.


Is grams could be units for a vector quantity?

No, grams are units of mass, not vector quantities. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force. An example unit for vector quantity would be Newtons for force or meters per second for velocity.
