  • Understanding Acceleration Due to Gravity: Units and Measurement
    That's incorrect. Acceleration due to gravity is usually measured in meters per second squared (m/s²), not m s³.

    Here's why:

    * Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

    * Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, measured in meters per second (m/s).

    * Therefore, acceleration is measured in the change of velocity over time, which is (m/s) / s, or m/s².

    The unit m s³ doesn't have a physical meaning in this context.
