What does 1 Newton look like

One Newton looks like an apple.

One Newton looks like an apple.

1 APPLE   WEIGHS   1N

An apple is a great mnemonic to think about what 1 Newton looks like because:

An average apple has a mass of 0.1kg

Weight: W = m x g

(Remember weight is a force. Force = m x g)

Weight  = 0.1 x 10 N/Kg

(g = gravitational pull/force which equals 10N/Kg)

Therefore weight of an apple = 1N

So a force of one Newton is needed to hold an apple up, here on Earth.
