"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.
