It should be noted that an acceleration is not a velocity.

Velocity is defined as distance per unit rate; thus, it has dimensions of length/time.

Acceleration is defined as change of velocity per unit rate; thus, its dimensions are velocity / time, i.e., (length/time) / time.

Why does a unit of time enter a unit or acceleration twice?

Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity divided by a time. Since the units for velocity are distance / time, you naturally get units of (distance / time) / time.


Why does the unit of time appear twice in the definition of acceleration?

Once for the unit of velocity and again for the interval of time in which the velocity is changing.

Why the time twice in unit 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.
