Question
acceleration can be described asmeters per second ______________ squared cubed added divided
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time. Velocity has units of meters per second ($m/s$), and time has units of seconds ($s$). So acceleration \(a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\), where \(\Delta v\) is the change in velocity and \(\Delta t\) is the change in time. Substituting the units of velocity (\(m/s\)) and time (\(s\)) into the formula for acceleration, we get \(a=\frac{m/s}{s}=\frac{m}{s^{2}}\), which is read as "meters per second squared".
