Speed or acceleration
Speed is a quantity that is measured in meters per second.The previous answer, velocity, is technically incorrect.Velocity is a vector, which consists of a magnitude and a direction.Example: 10 meters per second northwest.Speed, however, is a scalar, and consists solely of a magnitude.Example: 10 meters per second.
Acceleration
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
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). ^_^
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.

Units. Meters per Second. Cycles per Second. Grams per Liter. Units act in algebraic equations in the exact same way as Numbers because they [also] may Cancel Out.

Meters per second
A derived quantity is one that is derived from others. For example, the meter is the official unit of length; since area can be defined as a length squared, that's exactly how the area is defined in the SI, i.e., it is measured in square meters. Similarly, a speed is measured in meters/second (both meters and seconds are defined as base quantities).
Since length is measured in meters, and time in seconds, it follows that speed is measured in meters/second.
