In the international system (SI), the unit is meters/second2. This unit has no special name. In other systems, any distance divided by a time squared can be used, or even a distance divided by two different time units, as in "this car accelerates to 80 km/hour in 15 seconds". Here you are dividing a distance (80 km) by a time unit (hour) and by different time unit (seconds). Of course, it is possible to convert this to meters per second squared.

What is used calculating acceleration?

Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. It is represented by the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2).
