Key Stage 2
Meaning
A Newton meter is a tool for measuring force.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
A Newton meter is a measuring instrument used to measure the strength of a force.
About Newton Meters
- Newton meters measure force in Newtons.
- There are different Newton meters with a different scale. Some can measure to the nearest Newton, others can measure to the nearest 0.1 Newtons.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A Newton meter is a measuring instrument used to measure the magnitude of a force in a particular direction.
About Newton Meters
- Newton meters measure force in Newtons.
- Different Newton meters may have different resolutions.
- To get an accurate reading from a Newton meter it should be calibrated first to check that when there is no force the Newton meter reads zero.
