it is very simple...........
velocity or speed = distance / time.
acceleration = velocity / time
but, we know that velocity = distance / time
so just substitute the equation of velocity in acceleration......
so, finally we get ,
acceleration = distance/time*time
so it is time squared.

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)
What is acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared?
Acceleration due to gravity on earth is approx 386 in/s²
What is 9.8m divided by s squared?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of gravity.
What is the acceleration in miles per second squared if a car is traveling 20 miles per second and takes 3 seconds to brake?
-6.667 miles per second squared
What are the units of acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity per unit of time. Velocity is distance (d) per unit of time (t). That makes acceleration distance per unit of time squared, or something like this:We have distance/time2, or d/t2Distance is commonly measured in meters, and time in seconds. This makes acceleration appear in meters per second per second, or meters per second squared, or m/sec2.m/s2meters per second squared
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)
In knots per second squared what is the approximate maximum acceleration of a fast jet eg F15?
Knots per second squared is not a unit of acceleration.
Why do we a use the units meters per second squared when we talk about acceleration?
For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.
What is acceleration due to gravity in inches per second squared?
Acceleration due to gravity on earth is approx 386 in/s²
What is the mean of 2g?
g is a measurement of acceleration namely 9.8 meters per second squared. When there is an acceleration of 2g then simply multiply 9.8 meters per second squared times 2 or 19.6 meters per second squared.
What is the velocity if travel 5.7 meters per second squared for 4 seconds?
Velocity can be measured in metres per second, not metres per second squared. Acceleration is measured in metres per second squared but knowing only the acceleration does not help in finding the velocity.
What is 9.8m divided by s squared?
9.8 meters per second squared is the acceleration of gravity.
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 is the SI unit of negative acceleration?
The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared. This applies to ANY acceleration.
How do you label acceleration?
meters per second per second OR meters per second squared. They are both the same this, but meteres per second squared is easier to write.
What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
Ten meters per second squared describes what?
The acceleration of gravity.
