match the correct units with the variable.
acceleration, a
m
m/s
m/s²
s

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement. Displacement has the unit of meters (m) and time has the unit of seconds (s). So, velocity \(v=\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}\), and its unit is \(\frac{m}{s}\) (meters per second).

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity has the unit \(\frac{m}{s}\) and time has the unit \(s\). So, acceleration \(a = \frac{\text{velocity}}{\text{time}}\), and its unit is \(\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^{2}}\) (meters per second squared).

Answer:

For Velocity (\(v\)): \(m/s\)
For Acceleration (\(a\)): \(m/s^{2}\)
