Meter per Square Second

m/s²

Definition

The meter per square second (m/s²) is the SI base unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time. It measures how quickly an object's velocity changes over time.

History/Origin

Derived from the meter, the SI unit of length, and the second, the SI unit of time. It became the standard unit for acceleration in the International System of Units and is fundamental in physics and engineering.

Current Use

Widely used in physics, engineering, and mechanics to specify acceleration in scientific calculations, vehicle performance analysis, and motion studies.
