What is the SI unit of acceleration?

1. Acceleration is defined as change in velocity divided by change in time. 2. Velocity has units of m/s, and dividing that by a time in seconds gives m/s per second. 3. The text confirms: "the SI units for acceleration are m/s2." 4. m/s is the unit of velocity itself, m is the unit of distance, and s is the unit of time -- none of these is the unit of acceleration. 5. So the SI unit of acceleration is m/s² (metres per second squared). _Source: OpenStax Physics Ch 3 "Acceleration", p.98 §3.1 Acceleration_
