Question

Write the si and cgs unit of acceleration

Answer 1

The SI unit of acceleration is m/s^2.

And it's CGS unit must be cm/s^2 AKA "Gal".




Details:


Acceleration is defined as rate of change of velocity, in SI unit system we have velocity as m /s and by applying the defination,

Acceleration becomes m/s/s
= m/s^2


Now,

In CGS (centimetre- gram-second) system the definition is still the same but what changes is the unit of distance/length which is as you might've guessed Centimeters (cm)

so we have velocity in CGS as cm/s
so the acceleration becomes cm/s/s
= cm/s^2

Which has been given another name after the father of science Galelio Galelie that is "Gal".



Hope I didn't bored you much.

Answer 2

si unit= m per sec square
cgs unit= gal

hope it helps you!
