Recall that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Velocity itself is the rate of change of displacement (measured in meters, m) with respect to time (measured in seconds, s), so its unit is meters per second (\(m/s\)).
Since acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time, its unit is velocity divided by time, which is meters per second per second.
Expressing this in terms of base SI units, acceleration has units of meters per second squared, written as \(m/s^{2}\).
Therefore, the SI unit for acceleration is \(\frac{m}{s^{2}}\).
