acceleration = change in velocity divided by timeaccel = (9-3)/3 = 6/3 = 2 meters per second 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.
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). ^_^
That is the acceleration of gravity on Earth.
In general, the acceleration during that time interval could vary considerably. However, we can calculate the average acceleration during the interval. The change in speed is 20 meters per second - 5 meters per second = 15 meters per second, and this change in speed occurs over a 3 second interval. Thus the average change in speed over this interval is 15 meters per second/ 3 seconds = 5 meters per second per second = 5 meters/second2
The acceleration of gravity is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared.
Acceleration is a change in speed, measured per second and so would be meters per second per second or meters per second squared.

The acceleration of gravity is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared.
The most common for Acceleration is meters per second, per second.
It is about 9.814 meters per second per second on Earth
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). ^_^
It is acceleration that is measured in distance per unit of time per unit time, or in meters per second per second, as the question asked. The only thing missing is the direction vector.
"470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration. Assuming you mean "470 meters per second square", that is the same as a change of 470 meters per second every second. Just multiply by the number of seconds to get the change in speed."470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration.

Assuming you want the international units: time: second velocity: meters / second distance: meters acceleration: meters / second2
