The SI unit for acceleration is the meter per second squared (m/s 2).


The SI unit for expressing gravity is?

There is no unit of "gravity". Gravity is described in terms of its effects, namely acceleration and force. SI unit of force: [ newton ] = 1 kilogram-meter/second2 SI unit of acceleration: meter/second2


What is a derived unit used for acceleration?

Si unit is meter per second per second?

That's a metric unit for acceleration.


Is acceleration in the ISU?

If you mean the SI (international system of units), the derived unit for acceleration is meters per square second. There is no special name for this unit.


What is the si unit of acceleration due to gravity g?

Acceleration due to gravity is expressed in the same units as any other acceleration ... Meters per second per second = m/s2 Also feet per second per second = ft/sec2 Any unit with dimensions of (length)/(time)2 is a valid unit of acceleration, such as (furlongs)/(fortnight)2


Is acceleration a base unit?

No. It is derived from the fundamental SI units of length, the meter, and time, the second. The derived unit for acceleration is m/s/s or m/s2.


How is the unit of force derived from SI unit?

In the SI, the unit of force is defined by Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration). The unit, called Newton, is the product of a mass (in kilograms) and an acceleration (in meters per square second). That is, a newton is the force required to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second square.


What is the unit used to measure centripetal acceleration?

The same units as are used for any type of acceleration. In the SI, that would be meters/second2.


The SI unit for expressing gravity is the newton?

No, the Newton is a measure of weight = mass * gravitational acceleration.
