Acceleration has units of speed / time. The standard SI-unit is meter/second/second, usually written as meter/second2. Other units of distance/time/time can also be used, but it is convenient (for equations) to use a set of consistent units.
(Any unit of length or distance) divided by (the square of any unit of time)
is a unit of acceleration.
meter per second square.
i think the unit is m/s2
For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]
kilometers.
For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.
units of acceleration
An acceleration is not a velocity - it is the rate of change of velocity. In SI units, the units of velocity are meters/second. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, per unit time - how fast the velocity changes. Therefore, its units are velocity / time. In SI units, this gives you (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.

the general form of the units for acceleration are distance per time squared, such as m/s2.
(any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time)2 is a unit of acceleration.
fat fart
For every second of acceleration the velocity is increased by that acceleration.
units of acceleration
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 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.

Radians/second2.
Rate of change of speed. It can be the units for acceleration but need not be.
