There are two ways to interpret your question. If you want to know the units of measurement used to measure acceleration, that would normally be meters per second per second, in a scientific context, although in other contexts it could be miles per hour per second, or various other units. If you want to know how the measurement is actually made, there are various ways, but a convenient method would be to take a motion picture of a moving object, which allows you to measure its position at any given time; you can then graph location vs. time, and the shape of the graph will suggest an appropriate equation that would describe the acceleration. Then, additional measurements can be used to either confirm or reject the proposed equation. There is a lot of math involved; acceleration is analysed with differential calculus. But it does start just by measuring the position of an object at various different times.

How can acceleration be measured?
Acceleration can be measured using an accelerometer.
What is the unit of acceleration measured in kilometers per hour?
Kilometers per hour is used to measure speed, not acceleration. In SI, the acceleration is commonly measured in meters per square second.Kilometers per hour is used to measure speed, not acceleration.

In SI, the acceleration is commonly measured in meters per square second.Kilometers per hour is used to measure speed, not acceleration. In SI, the acceleration is commonly measured in meters per square second.
What is the quantity measured in meters per second called?
Speed or acceleration
What is acceleration measured in?
Acceleration is measured in (distance) per (unit of time) squared; for example, feet/second squared in the SI (metric) system the official unit is metres/second/second or metres/(second squared)
Which quantity can be measured in the units feet per second per second?
Acceleration
How can acceleration be measured?
Acceleration can be measured using an accelerometer.
An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?
Angular acceleration

The acceleration of a bullt is measured in g's what is g?
acceleration due to gravity
Force is measured by?
Force is measured by taking MASS time ACCELERATION.
Acceleration is measured in what unit?
m/s2
Suppose velocity is measured kmhr and time is measured in hourswhat is that unit of acceleration?
If velocity is km/hr and time is in hours then acceleration will be in km/hr2
What does decceleration mean?
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.
What is deceleration measured in?
Deceleration means to decrease the velocity. The SI unit is the same as acceleration. In SI units, acceleration is measured in meters/second² (m·s-2).
How do you solve mass mass problems?
to solve for mass u divide force by acceleration . to find force u multiply mass and acceleration and to find acceleration u divide force by mass , force is measured in newtons (N) and mass is measured in meters per second squared ( m/s^2) and acceleration is measured in kilograms ( kg) .
Problems about positive acceleration?
Positive acceleration is an increase in velocity in the direction in which motion is being measured.
Can acceleration be measured in g?
Yes. The number of 'G' in an acceleration is the acceleration in [ meters per second2 ] divided by 9.8Or the acceleration in [ feet per second2 ] divided by 32.2
