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). ^_^
Rate of change of speed. It can be the units for acceleration but need not be.
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
acceleration = change in velocity divided by timeaccel = (9-3)/3 = 6/3 = 2 meters per second per second
Acceleration
The units of acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s^2) in the International System of Units (SI).
Assuming you want the international units: time: second velocity: meters / second distance: meters acceleration: 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). ^_^
meters per second squared (m/s2)
Acceleration can be expressed in units of meters per second squared (m/s^2) in the International System of Units (SI).
Acceleration is metres per second squared/ written as m/s^(2) or ms^-2)
Rate of change of speed. It can be the units for acceleration but need not be.
Acceleration is a rate of change, over time. Rate of change is a velocity itself, which is "meters per second" - so, "meters per second" increase, per second. This is written as m/s^2.
The acceleration of gravity, g, is measured in units of acceleration, which is to say units of distance per time squared. For example, meters per second squared.
In SI, acceleration is measured in meters / second2, or meters / second / second. In other units, units of the same dimension have to be used, i.e., [length] / [time] / [time]. For example, in the imperial units, feet per square second is quite common.
The units for acceleration in the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system are meters per second squared (m/s^2). In the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, the units for acceleration are centimeters per second squared (cm/s^2).
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes. Therefore, its units are naturally (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes.
