A kilogram-metre per second squared is mass times acceleration, which is force; it is the newton, not a unit of energy.

Coating iron or steel with a thin layer of zinc is called galvanisation, and it is the most common way to protect them from rusting.

Tors are piles of rounded, weathered blocks standing on hilltops, and they form typically in granite. Granite cools deep underground and develops a network of joints, or cracks.
