2. A - force = mass × acceleration
3. B - 1.6 N
4. B - 1 N
5. C - 8 N
C. newton
The unit used to measure force is the newton. To arrive at this answer, you can recall that force is defined as a push or pull exerted on an object. The most commonly used unit to measure force is the newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, a prominent physicist. A newton is represented by the symbol "N". Alternatively, you could also use your knowledge of units of measurement to eliminate the other options.
A watt is a unit used to measure power, which is the rate at which work is done. It is not the appropriate unit for measuring force.
A joule is a unit used to measure energy or work done. While related to force, it is not specifically used as a unit to measure force itself.
A kilogram is a unit used to measure mass, not force. Although there is a relationship between mass and force (according to Newton's second law of motion), they are not the same measurement.
