Units for acceleration
A
s2 / m
B
m / s2
C
s2
D
m + s2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unit of acceleration is the metre per second per second (m/s2).

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: -The SI unit of acceleration is metres/second2 (m/s2). Force (F), mass (m) and acceleration (g) are linked by Newton’s Second Law, which states that ‘The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass’.
