No, kilograms are mass units. The SI unit of force is the newton; a newton is a kilogram-meter per second per second.
That means that under standard Earth gravity, a 1 kg mass weighs ... is attracted towards the Earth with a force of ... about 9.8 N.
One thing that's a little confusing about "the metric system" for some people is that pounds are a unit of force (weight) but kilograms are a unit of mass. The US unit for mass is an uncommon one (it's called a "slug"). A slug is the amount of mass that can be accelerated at one foot per second per second by a force of 1 pound; to put it another way, on the surface of the Earth, 1 slug of mass has a weight of about 32 pounds.

What is the mass of a bucket of water?
That really depends on the bucket, but it would be measured kilograms.
Is a mass of a person weighed in mg or kg?
The mass of a person is MEASURED in kilograms. A mass cannot be weighed, and a person's weight is measured in Newtons.
What Is Hooke's Law Formula?
It is: F= -Kx remember the bigger the force the more the string streches. {it is prportional} here F is equal to the force measured in Newtons K is the force constant measured in N/m x is the distance the sprinh has been streched measured in Meters
What is a hectokilogram?
A hectokilogram is a kilogram that is measured in multiples of 100,000. In other words, 100,000 kilograms is equal to one hectokilogram.
Which unit would be best for measuring the weight of a marble?
Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in newtons. If you are asking which unit to choose to measure then mass of a marble, then you need to use the submultiple of the kilogram, the gram.
What is the formula for calculating force in terms of mass in kilograms, acceleration in meters per second squared, and the gravitational constant?
The formula for calculating force is force mass x acceleration, where force is measured in Newtons, mass is measured in kilograms, and acceleration is measured in meters per second squared. The gravitational constant is not directly used in this formula.
Is a gram measured in kilograms?
A gram is measured in grams. A kilogram is measured in kilograms.
Is matter is measured by kilograms?
Yes, mass is measured in kilograms.
Can be measured in kilograms?
Weight or mass of an object can be measured in kilograms.
What uses newtons as unite(people sometimes use kilograms by mistake)?
Newtons are used as a unit of force, measured by the amount of force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared. People might mistakenly use kilograms as a unit for weight, as weight is commonly measured in kilograms even though it should technically be measured in newtons.
What are the units for weight and how are they measured?
The units for weight are typically measured in pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg). Weight is measured using a scale or balance that calculates the force of gravity acting on an object.
What is the definition of weight and mass?
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, measured in newtons. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, measured in kilograms.
What is net force measured in?
In physics, the net force is measured in Newton. The formula for net force is given as the mass times the acceleration. The mass is given in kilograms (kg), and the acceleration is measured in meters per second squared. A Newton is equivalent to a kilogram-meters per second squared.
How much does 35 pounds weight in kilogram?
A mass of 35 pounds is equivalent to 15.9 kilograms. What it weighs will be measured in Newtons, not kilograms, and will depend on the force of gravity (if any).
What is the mass of 49 Newton's?
Mass is not measured in Newtons. The mass of an object, which represents the amount of matter it contains, is measured in kilograms. To convert force (measured in Newtons) to mass, you would need to divide the force by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth) to get the mass in kilograms.
Is a computer measured in grams or kilograms?
kilograms
Weight is measured as the downward force of?
Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass. It is commonly measured in units such as pounds or kilograms. Weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity acting on the object.
