Which is a unit of acceleration?
A
g/ cm3
B
m / s
C
m / s2
D
N/ m
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Since we are using metres and seconds as our basic units, we will measure acceleration in metres per second per second. This will be abbreviated as m/s2. It is also commonly abbreviated as ms−2.

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: -The SI unit of velocity is m s-2 .
