Detailed explanation-1: -, or less commonly, as m/s/s. As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unit of acceleration is the metre per second per second (m/s2). Definition. The snewton is that force which, when acting on a mass of one kilogramme, produces an acceleration of one metre per second per second.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because acceleration is velocity in m/s divided by time in s, the SI units for acceleration are m/s2, meters per second squared or meters per second per second, which literally means by how many meters per second the velocity changes every second.

Detailed explanation-4: -The SI unit of acceleration is ms−1.

Detailed explanation-5: -in acceleration, we want to know the change in velocity. Velocity is measured in m/s. So we put acceleration as m/s per second. Using simple math, we come up with the unit m/s^2.
