* Meters per second squared (m/s²): This is the most common unit in the International System of Units (SI).
* Feet per second squared (ft/s²): This is commonly used in the United States customary units.
* Other units: You might encounter other units depending on the context, such as kilometers per hour squared (km/h²), or even "g" (which represents the acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.8 m/s²).
Key takeaway: The units for acceleration always involve a unit of distance divided by a unit of time squared.
