I understand that a Newton (N) is the "amount of force required to accelerate a one-kg object at 1 m/s^2", but what exactly does that mean?
If I apply 1N of force to a 1kg object, will it constantly accelerate if I continue to apply the 1N? E.g. If I apply 1N of force for 10 seconds, the object will be traveling at 10m/s.
Or, is it just that if I constantly apply 1N, the object will constantly travel at 1m/s?
Thank you for your time and help.
