The formula
result = value × (factorₓ / factorᵧ)
Force is what changes an object’s motion, measured in newtons — the force that accelerates one kilogram at one metre per second squared. The confusing units are the gravitational ones: a kilogram-force is simply the weight of a kilogram on Earth, which is why it disappears the moment you leave the planet.
