As defined already, the force that produces 1 m/sec 2 acceleration on 1 kilogram mass is called as 1 Newton. This unit is recognized as SI unit. Since, forces are also measured in other types of units, a necessity arises to express all such units in equivalent to Newton unit of force.
AS stands for Associate of Science, a 2-year degree.
Thanks for clarifying the name SAT and what it now stands for . . . apparently nothing. Just a note: SAT is not an acronym; itâs an initialism. Acronyms are initials that together form a word. Examples include NATO, UNICEF, SALT, AIDS, NAFTA, and so on. HHS, DOD, DOE, and so on are initialisms.
