graaa this is killling me! why is the seconds in acceleration squared! please help!

Question

anonymous · Answer

yey!

anonymous · Answer

m=meters, s=seconds (keep in mind velocity is m/s for its units [change in displacement over time]). acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time. is it's (m/s)/s which is the same thing as m/s^2

anonymous · Answer

*MIND=BLOWN* I see! so m/s2 gives you the change in velocity! thank you for illuminating me! :D

anonymous · Answer

its just something I kept in mind while introducing myself with physics.

anonymous · Answer

for sure...unit analysis comes in handy when solving chem problems

anonymous · Answer

ahahaha, I was interested in chemistry when I joined this site, but the I scraped that and studied more math and physics.

anonymous · Answer

actually, im more found with physics than in chemistry now I think.

anonymous · Answer

o my bad, i meant physics problems since we're on the physics forum lol...but yeah, chem problems too

anonymous · Answer

oh, i see, jajaja. Well, thank you very much for your time aloha!

anonymous · Answer

youre welcome ;)
