Solution

In physics or physical science, acceleration(symbol: a) is defined as the rate of change (or derivative with respect to time) of velocity.It is thus a vector quantity with dimension

$fraction numerator l e n g t h over denominator t i m e squared end fraction$

In SI units, acceleration is measured in $fraction numerator m e t e r over denominator s e c o n d squared end fraction$ using an accelerometer.
