Here's how it breaks down:
* Velocity: Velocity is the rate of change of *position* over *time*. Its unit is typically meters per second (m/s), representing the distance traveled per unit of time.
* Acceleration: Acceleration is the rate of change of *velocity* over *time*. This means we are looking at how much the velocity changes in a given amount of time.
Therefore, the unit of acceleration is (m/s) / s, which simplifies to m/s².
In essence, the first "s" in the unit of acceleration represents the time component of velocity, while the second "s" represents the time over which the velocity changes.
