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.

What is the base unit of mass?

The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit. Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.


What unit is used to express acceleration?

"Acceleration" means "rate of change in velocity, and the direction of the change". So acceleration is (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change), plus the direction. (Any unit of speed) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of acceleration. Some possibilities include: -- feet per second2 -- meters per second2 -- miles per hour per second -- furlongs per week per fortnight -- smoots per month per day . . etc. To complete the acceleration vector, it also needs to include a direction.


What are all the prefixes in the metric system mean?

Milli is 0.001 of the Base UnitCenti is 0.01 of the Base Unit Deci is 0.1 of the Base Unit BASE UNIT Deca is 10 of the Base Unit Hecto is 100 of the Base Unit Kilo is 1000 of the Base 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


What is the base metric base unit for length?

The base unit for length is the metre.

What units express acceleration?

(any unit of speed) / (any unit of time)OR(any unit of length or distance) / (any unit of time, squared)is a perfectly appropriate unit of acceleration.If you're dealing with acceleration as a vector, then a direction also needs to go with it.
