Newton Unit Measures Force
The Newton (N) is the standard SI unit used to measure force.
A force is defined as an interaction that, when unopposed, changes the motion of an object. It represents a push or a pull.
To confirm, let's look at the units for the other options:
- Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa).
- Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms ($\Omega$).
- Power is measured in Watts (W).
Therefore, the Newton is exclusively the unit for measuring force.
