Conversion Process
This conversion uses Newton as the base unit. We'll first convert Newton to Newton, then convert from Newton to Kilonewton.
Step 1: Convert from Newton to Newton
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Newton
Step 2: Convert from Newton to Kilonewton
1 × 0.001 = 0.001
Result: 0.001 Kilonewton
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 1,000 = 0.001
Direct conversion: 1 Newton = 0.001 Kilonewton
Newton (N)
System: SI
Definition:1 Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).
Origin: Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.
Common Usage: The standard unit of force used globally in science, engineering, and physics.
Synonyms: kg m/s²
