In science or physics, a KG or kilogram is a mass (m) unit, and an N or Newton is a unit of force (f). On the Earth, the mass of 1KG is about 2.20 pounds, and on the other hand, if something weighs one pound on Earth, it will have a mass of about 0.454 kg.

In mathematics, or calculus, which Isaac Newton established. A KG is a kilogram, and an N stands for Newton but has more to do with weight and is part of the Imperial measurement system devised in Europe and is otherwise known as the metric system.

A kilogram weighs 2.2 pounds, so 1000 KG = 2200 lbs., and one newton is equal to 0.1019716213 kilograms. If you take 1000 KG and divide by 0.101, the answer is 9,900.9900990099, and round up, and you get 1000 kg.

Pseudoscience refers to any body of knowledge, practices, or beliefs that purport to be scientific but which fail to comply fully with the scientific method. These practices and beliefs are termed pseudoscience because they only claim to be supported by science, but they fail to comply with the scientific method.

Pseudoscience consists of exaggerated, contradictory claims. At times, pseudoscience doesn't follow the rigorous method of refuting or disapproving any fact. One of the differences between science and pseudoscience is that the latter does not create openness so that other experts can evaluate it.

The various scientific processes can be carried out by anybody as long as they are compatible with the scientific method, but pseudoscience lacks this openness. Unlike science, it is easier to form hypotheses because they don't follow the standard systematic practices. When accepting any fact, it is important to verify whether it is science or pseudoscience.

1KG= 10N is related to force, which is learned about in science. KG stands for kilograms and this measurement is used to measure the matter of an object. N stands for Newton, which is how force is measured. When on Earth, an object that has the mass of 1KG, will subsequently have a force of 10N.

In math, kg also stands for kilograms and N will also stand for newton. 1N = 1000KG is used in math to signal that 1 newton is worth that to 1000 kilograms. Knowing this is important when you are dealing with more complex math problems.

There are differences in science and mathematics, although in some cases, they would need to meet in the middle. The explanations and the units that are used are different in science and mathematics. This explains why there are some differences in expressing numbers, even if they mean the same thing.

Science is going to use a more abstract model, especially since there are so many things that science is trying to discover and understand. With math, everything is more straightforward. There are formulas that are needed to solve things, and the answers will either be right or wrong. Science and math may need to work hand in hand in order to explain different types of phenomena.
