Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The unit for velocity (or speed) is ____
A
m/s/s
B
m/s
C
m*s
D
m*s*s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The SI unit of velocity is metre per second (m/s). Alternatively, the velocity magnitude can also be expressed in centimetres per second (cm/s).

Detailed explanation-2: -The SI unit for velocity is meter per second (m/s).

Detailed explanation-3: -The metre per second is the unit of both speed (a scalar quantity) and velocity (a vector quantity, which has direction and magnitude) in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the speed of a body covering a distance of one metre in a time of one second. The SI unit symbols are m/s, m·s−1, m s−1, or ms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Velocity is measured in m/s. So we put acceleration as m/s per second.
