What the heck is measured in m2 / s2??
Can somebody tell me what m2 / s2 measures?? A square meter per squared second??

Well, it could be a measure of energy per unit mass (above post #3): J/kg = Nm/kg = kg m sec^-2 m kg^-1 = m^2/sec^2russ_watters said:Measured? Nothing. But I suspect the question is really asking about what an energy equation means.

m2 / s2 is a unit of measurement for acceleration, specifically for acceleration due to gravity. It represents the change in velocity (in meters per second) per unit of time squared.
m2 / s2 is the standard unit of acceleration in the International System of Units (SI). Other units of acceleration, such as feet per second squared, are not part of the SI system and may be converted to m2 / s2.
m2 / s2 is commonly used to measure the gravitational acceleration of objects on Earth, such as a falling object or the acceleration of a car. It can also be used to measure the acceleration of objects in outer space.
m2 / s2 is calculated by dividing the change in velocity (in meters per second) by the change in time (in seconds) squared. This can be represented as m/s/s or m/s^2.
m2 / s2 is related to force through Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Since m2 / s2 measures acceleration, it is a factor in determining the force acting on an object.
