Kilogram-Meter-Second
The term "Kilogram-Meter-Second" (often abbreviated as KMS) refers to a system of measurement that uses the kilogram for mass, the meter for distance, and the second for time. This system is part of the International System of Units (SI), which is widely used in science and engineering to ensure consistency and clarity in measurements.
In the KMS system, various physical quantities can be expressed, such as force, energy, and momentum. For example, force is measured in newtons, which can be derived from the KMS units as one newton equals one kilogram meter per second squared (kg·m/s²). This makes KMS fundamental for understanding and calculating physical phenomena.
