Question

which of the following is the unit of acceleration

Answer 1

the si unit of acceleration is m/s²

Answer 2

The unit of acceleration is m/sec^2

• Acceleration is the measure of the increase or decrease of the velocity with respect to time.
• The rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration.
• The rate of change of displacement is known as velocity.
• The unit of displacement is a meter.
• So the unit of velocity is meter per second.
• Now find the unit of acceleration.
• Acceleration= Change in velocity/Time
• The unit of acceleration is given as :
• $\frac{m/s}{s}=m/s^2$
