Magical World of Physics

View the Universe from the shoulders of the giants

Illustration titled “Acceleration Unit” showing the formula 𝑎 = Δ 𝑣 / Δ 𝑡 a=Δv/Δt and the unit expression 𝑚 / ( 𝑠 ⋅ 𝑠 ) = 𝑚 / 𝑠 2 m/(s⋅s)=m/s 2 . A hand holding a feather quill appears on the right side against a soft blurred background.

What does 'seconds squared' mean in acceleration units (m/s²)?

Why does acceleration use “seconds squared”? We break down the m/s² unit step by step and show what it really means in everyday motion
