What is the PHYSICS metric unit for the measurement of:?

In summary, the metric units for the measurement of velocity, mass, kinetic energy, height, and potential energy are m/s, kg, J, meters, and kg, respectively. The unit for acceleration is m/s^2. Other units, such as Newtons and pascals, may also be used for certain measurements.

f, what is acceleration in terms of other units?

g, All energy is measured in the same units - because energy can be converted from one to another.

Dimensional analysis is your best friend.

Formula for acceleration = change in speed / change in time

Speed is m/s. Time is s.

(m/s) / s
= m/s^2

Thus, the unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

You can apply this to nearly every unit. Some you have to know, such as Newtons or pascals.
