SI unit of Acceleration
S.I. unit of acceleration is meters per second square abbreviated as m/s2. It can be derived as follows:
- S.I. unit of velocity= meter/second(m/s)
- S.I. unit of time= second(s)
We know that,
Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time
Hence,
SI unit of acceleration = SI unit of Velocity/SI unit of Time
SI unit of acceleration = (meter/second)/(second)
SI unit of acceleration = (m/s)/(s) = m/s2
Thus, we obtain SI unit of acceleration = ms-2 or m/s2.
Unit of Acceleration
Unit of Acceleration is meter per second square or m/s2. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a body changes. The most commonly used units of acceleration are meters per second square (m/s2) and kilometer per hour square (km/h2).
In this article, we will learn the definition of acceleration, the unit of acceleration, units in various systems, sample problems, and frequently asked questions related to the unit of acceleration.
