Units of acceleration (a)
A
m/s
B
kg
C
m/s2
D
N
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. Force = mass × acceleration 1(N) = 1 ( kg ) × 1 ( m/s 2 ) .

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
