Since acceleration is (change of speed) / (time), the most logical choice for units is (meter / second) / second, which is usually written as meter / second2. Actually, any unit of length can be divided by two units of time (the same unit squared, as above, or two different units, as in kilometers / hour / second). But calculations will be simpler if you stick to the standard SI units, in this case, meter / second2.
