The metre or meter per second squared is the Units of measurement unit of acceleration in the International System of Units SI . As a SI derived unit derived unit it is composed from the SI base unit s of length, the metre , and the standard unit of time, the second . Its symbol is written in several forms as m s sup 2 sup , m s sup 2 sup , or m s sup 2 sup . As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second . Example An object experiences a constant acceleration of one metre per second squared 1 m s sup 2 sup from a state of rest, when it achieves the speed of 5 m s after 5 seconds and 10 m s after 10 seconds. Related units Newton s Second Law states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. The unit of force is the newton unit newton N , and mass has the SI unit kilogram kg . One newton equals one kilogram metre per second squared. Therefore, the unit metre per second squared is equivalent to newton per kilogram, N kg sup 1 sup , or N kg. ref Kirk, Tim Physics for the IB Diploma Standard and Higher Level , Page 61, Oxford University Press, 2003 ref Thus, the Earth s gravitational field near ground level can be quoted as 9.8 metres per second squared, or the equivalent 9.8 N kg.
