1 kg m s^-2
i.e. 1 Newton
You can tell your son that Newton's 2nd law is
Force = Mass times acceleration
F = kg (i.e mass) times acceleration (ms^-2)
the ^ means to the power of minus two
Newton, once stated that:
'If I can see further than you, it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants'
He was making a point about scientific progress, but he was also making a comment about the height of another Scientist
Robert Hooke
and for this I don't like the man (Newton)

The Newton.
A newton is a measure of force that combines mass and acceleration (often due to gravity).
One Newton (denoted 1N) is equal to 1 (kg*m)/s^2

In the USA, the SI ( standard international unit) of force is the pound.
