Solution

The SI unit of acceleration is $m e t e r / s e c o n d^{2}$ $(m / s^{2})$ .
Acceleration: Acceleration is defined as the rate of change velocity with time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity. It means it has both magnitude as well as direction.
Formula to find acceleration is $a = \frac{v - u}{t} [w h e r e a i s t h e a c c e l e r a t i o n, v i s t h e f i n a l v e l o c i t y, u i s t h e i n i t i a l v e l o c i t y a n d t i s t h e t i m e]$
Hence, The SI unit of acceleration is $m e t e r / s e c o n d^{2}$ $(m / s^{2})$
