"One g" is a term used to compare the effect of an acceleration, or gravitation, with Earth's gravitation. On Earth, gravitation produces an acceleration of 9.8 m/sec2; so that amount of acceleration is 1 G; 2 x 9.8 meters per second square is 2 G, etc.
Meters per second square are the standard SI unit, so they are easier to deal with in formulae, but if you get a result in meter per second square, it is often converted to "G", to make it easier to visualize, especially in non-technical writing (like in science fiction).

What is the unit of acceleration measured in kilometers per hour?
Kilometers per hour is used to measure speed, not acceleration.

Acceleration is a measure of?
the rate of change of velocity.
What does acceleration divided by time measure?
Velocity
Why do you had to calculate acceleration with velocity?
Because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: it is a measure of how quickly velocity is changing.
What does change in speed times time measure?
Acceleration.
How fast is 9 Gs?
G-force is a measure of acceleration, not of speed; one G is the equivalent acceleration to one normal Earth gravity. 9 Gs is equal to nine times the force of gravity, and the object weighs nine times as much - it is enough to make all but the most experienced and well trained fighter pilots to blackout.
What does acceleration measure?
Acceleration measures the change in speed
How can you measure weight?
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration

What is accelerometer?
A tool to measure acceleration
What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?
Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.

What does a tangent to a velocity-time graph measure?
It will measure acceleration in the direction towards or away from the origin.
How do you measure force when mass and acceleration is givven?
In that case, you don't measure it - you calculate it. Use the formula: force = mass x acceleration
The quantity 2 ms2 is a measure of?
acceleration
What do you need to measure to find acceleration?
opposites
What is the SI measure of apparent acceleration?
g.force
