It is acceleration that is measured in distance per unit of time per unit time, or in meters per second per second, as the question asked. The only thing missing is the direction vector.

∙ 12y ago"meters per second squared" is a unit of acceleration.
refers to uniform acceleration, written (m/s)/s , velocity increase in meters per second during each second of acceleration
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago- Meters per second is a unit of speed or velocity[change in distance over time].
- Meters per second per second is a unit of acceleration[change in velocity over time], note: (meters per second) per second

acceleration = increase in velocity of 1 m/s every second

A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff at a speed of 8 meters per second. What is its speed one second later?
After a second, the ball will still have a horizontal velocity of 8 meters per second. It will also have a vertical velocity of 9.8 meters per second (Earth's acceleration is about 9.8 meters per square second). The combined speed (using the Law of Pythagoras) is about 12.65 meters per second.
What is expressed as joules per second?
1 joule per second= 1 watt
Velocity may be expressed in which units?
ft/s; mi/h; km/h; m/s; cm/s These mean feet per second; miles per hour; kilometers per hour; meters per second; and centimeter per second. These are the most common units given for speed. (However, velocity and speed are not the same thing. Velocity includes the directionality of the speed.) Velocity may be expressed as cms-1 in CGS unit and as ms-1 in SI unit. Velocity can be expressed in units of distance over time such as meters per second, miles per hour, feet per second. Or as any unit of distance, divided by any unit of time. The SI unit is meters/second. A commonly used unit is kilometers/hour. The SI unit is meters/second, but any length unit divided by any time unit may be used, for example kilometers per hour, cm/minute, AU/week, etc. m/s (any unit of length) / (any unit of time)
What units is momentum expressed in?
It is expressed in whichever system you use for mass. Most people use Metric and some use English. English would be the ounce and Metric would be the gram.The SI unit of momentum (P) is Newtown*second (N*s) and also kilograms* meters per second (kg*m/s). P equals mass (in kilograms) multiplied by velocity (in meters per second).
What is the value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of gravity in a decimal?
9.8 meters per second square
Is accalaration expressed in newtons foot pounds kilograms or meters per second squared?
Meters per second squared I think thank you
What is 299792458?
The speed of light in vacuum expressed in meters per second
Why is acceleration often expressed with units of meters per second squared?
Because if speed is measured in meters per second (m/s) and time is measured in seconds, the SI unit of acceleration is meters per second per second (m/s2). ^_^
How fast is a skydiver after falling 3 seconds if they accelerate at 10 meters per second?
The acceleration is expressed in meters per second square, which really means (meters / second) / second. Every second, the skydiver will be 10 meters per second faster than the previous second. Therefore, after 3 seconds, he will have a speed of 30 meters per second.
What is 10.1 meters per second expressed in miles per hour?
22 meters/sec = 49.2126 miles/hr (rounded)
What stream measurement is taken in meters?
In meters you can measure the length of a section, the average depth and the speed can be expressed in meters per second
What is the speed of a chicken if it walks 30 meters in 10 seconds?
The speed is exactly 30 meters per 10 seconds. It can also be expressed as 3 meters per second, 180 meters per minute, 10.8 kilometers per hour, etc.
In what units is acceleration expressed a newtons b foot pounds c kilograms d meters per second squared?
Assuming you want the international units: time: second velocity: meters / second distance: meters acceleration: meters / second2
What speed are you travelling if you travel 55 meters in 8.2 seconds?
Expressed in metres per second, this is equal to 55/8.2 = 6.70731 recurring (that is, 6.7073170731...) metres per second.
What is 177.543 meters per second in meters per hour?
177.543 meters per second = 639,154.8 meters per hour.
Foot per second to meters per second?
feet per second x 0.3048 = meters per second
How many meters per second are there in 1 kilo meters per second?
There are 1000 meters/second in 1 kilo meters/second
