The units of acceleration are ____
|
|
m/s
|
|
|
m s
|
|
|
m s2
|
|
|
m/s2
|
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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -SI unit for retardation is m/s2.
