Is kgm s equal to NS? The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) is the derived SI unit of impulse. It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second. What is kg per second? Kilogram Per Second (kg/s) […]

What determines flight paths? Security and political issues determine flight paths and ticket prices far more than considerations about an airline’s carbon footprint.
