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). ^_^

What is an accurate statement of an acceleration value translated from symbols into words 3 meters per second 3 meters per second squared 3 squared meters per second 3 meters in 3 se?

Acceleration is a change in speed, measured per second and so would be meters per second per second or meters per second squared.


Is Speed is measured in meters?

Speed is distance divided by time. So : you could have meters per second, or meters per hour, etc.

How many meters per second is the costant equal to the acceleration of gravity?

It is about 9.814 meters per second per second on Earth


What is accerationmeasured in the unit?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.Velocity is the rate of change of position. Since position is measured in length units (for example, meters), velocity is in meters per second, and acceleration is in meters per second per second. In most unit systems, there isn't a specific term for this, though you will sometimes see acceleration measured in "gees", which is the standard accelration due to gravity on Earth, or 9.8 meters per second per second.
