These are called derived units. In the SI system (or metric system), there are base units for length, mass and time, among others. These are:

  • metre (m)
  • kilogram (kg)
  • second (s)

The unit of acceleration is expressed as m/s2. An example of a derived unit is the unit of force called the newton (N). Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore:

force = mass × acceleration

N = kg·m/s2
