Which unit is used to measure acceleration?
A
m/s
B
ms
C
m/s2
D
m2/s2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -unit of acceleration is the meter per second per second (m/s2).

Detailed explanation-3: -A metre per second squared (or m/s2 or metre per second per second) is a unit of measurement for acceleration. If an object accelerates at 1 m/s2, it means that its speed is increasing by 1 m/s every second.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acceleration (m/s/s) is about how much the speed (meters per second) changes per second. Here’s an example to go along with the explanation. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second per second.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Was this answer helpful?
