Acceleration = Change in Velocity (m/s) Time (s) = 4 m/s 2 s = 2 m/s 2. Your speed changes by 2 meters per second per second. Or more simply "2 meters per second squared". Example: You are running at 7 m/s, and skid to a halt in 2 seconds.

The metre per second squared is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). As a derived unit, it is composed from the SI base units of length, the metre, and time, the second.
The SI unit for acceleration is metre per second squared (m⋅s −2, ). For example, when a vehicle starts from a standstill (zero velocity, in an inertial frame of reference ) and travels in a straight line at increasing speeds, it is accelerating in the direction of travel.
Definition. Meters per second squared is the unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI), indicating how much an object's velocity changes per second for each second of time. This measurement reflects not only the speed at which an object is moving but also how quickly it is speeding up or slowing down.
Because acceleration is velocity in m/s divided by time in s, the SI units for acceleration are \( m/s^2\), meters per second squared or meters per second per second, which literally means by how many meters per second the velocity changes every second.
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of SI units, dividing the meter per second [m/s] by the second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared. ⎡ ⎢ ⎣
18 Αυγ 2017 · It is the change of velocity over time, so for example how much change in velocity (m/s) you have per second. So the unit of acceleration is meters per second per second, or just per square second. Share. Cite. Improve this answer. edited Aug 18, 2017 at 8:25. UKH.
