per second per second is taken with the context of how an object is changing its acceleration. An object accelerates by speeding up or slowing down. If an object speeds up, it could speed up at a rate of 5 meters per hour, let's say, every second. So after one second, its speed is 5 mph; after two seconds, its speed is 10 mph and so forth. If an object's speed is increasing at 5 meters a second, then its speed is 5 meters per second the first second; 10 meters per second the second second and so forth. We would say the object's acceleration is 10 meters per second / per second.
AnswerIt has to do with speed,the time an object falls from a given height is calculated in seconds per second( it fell in less than a second)

What does the phrase 1 meter per sec per sec mean?
'ms-2' is the SI derived unit of acceleration. It means that a speed X is changing by 1ms-1 for every second of its acceleration.
What does miles per second per second mean?
Rate at which the speed of the object is changing that is the acceleration.
How much kinetic energy does a runner have when dashing at 7 miles per second?
7 miles per second? Don't you mean 7 meters per second?
What is 203 km in meters per second?
You can't convert a distance to a speed. If you mean kilometers per hour, divide that by 3.6 to get meters per second.
What is the answer to the phrase ten meters per second pquared describes the?
That is approximately the acceleration due to gravity, near Earth's surface.
