What has the units meters per second?
Speed is a quantity that is measured in meters per second.The previous answer, velocity, is technically incorrect.Velocity is a vector, which consists of a magnitude and a direction.Example: 10 meters per second northwest.Speed, however, is a scalar, and consists solely of a magnitude.Example: 10 meters per second.
Which quantity can be measured in the units feet per second per second?
Acceleration
What is measured by meters per second per second?
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
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). ^_^
Why are the units for acceleration meters per second?
Acceleration is not measured in meters/second. Meters/second is a unit of speed. Since acceleration is defined as change of speed divided by time, the units are meters/second/second, usually written as meters/second2.

What is it called if an object is traveling and its speed does not change?
constan velocity (is measured in meters per second)
Which quantity can be measured in the units feet per second per second?
Acceleration
Constant speed is measured by what?
Velocity is measured in meters/second in the S.I. system.
What is the SI unit for tangential speed?
meters per second
Why is it measured in meters per second?
Velocity(speed).
What is measured by meters per second per second?
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
What is a variable or quantity measured in?
Units. Meters per Second. Cycles per Second. Grams per Liter. Units act in algebraic equations in the exact same way as Numbers because they [also] may Cancel Out.

What unit is a wave's velocity measured in?
Meters per second
What is derive quantities with explanation?
A derived quantity is one that is derived from others. For example, the meter is the official unit of length; since area can be defined as a length squared, that's exactly how the area is defined in the SI, i.e., it is measured in square meters. Similarly, a speed is measured in meters/second (both meters and seconds are defined as base quantities).
What is average speed SI unit?
Since length is measured in meters, and time in seconds, it follows that speed is measured in meters/second.
