Ten meters per second squared, or ten meters per second per second is the term used for acceleration. In this case it is referring to the acceleration caused by gravity. If you were on the top of a steep cliff and threw a ball over the side, it would accelerate at 10 meters per second squared. So after 10 meters is would be going 20 meters a second.

The phrase "ten meters per second squared" describes the acceleration of an object experiencing a change in velocity at a rate of 10 meters per second each second. It represents how quickly the object's speed is increasing over time.
It describes an acceleration. The number happens to be very close
to the acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth.
False. The SI unit of velocity is meters per second (m/s), not meters per second squared. Meters per second squared is the unit for acceleration.
An accurate statement for option B is: "An acceleration of 3 meters per second squared." This means that the acceleration is changing by 3 meters per second in each second that passes.
To convert 4.4 miles per hour per second to meters per second squared, first convert 4.4 miles to meters (1 mile = 1609.34 meters) and 1 hour to seconds (1 hour = 3600 seconds). Then divide the speed in meters per second by the time in seconds squared to get the acceleration in meters per second squared.
(B) its a three meters per second squared.
To convert 1.9 miles per hour per second to meters per second squared, you first need to convert miles to meters and hours to seconds. 1 mile is approximately 1609.34 meters and 1 hour is 3600 seconds. Convert the speed to meters per second and then divide by time squared to get the acceleration in meters per second squared.
