Answer:
Newton/meter

Step-by-step explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Therefore, the SI units of acceleration is m/secĀ²

However, acceleration is also involved in Newton's second law:
Force = mass * acceleration
Newton = kg * unit of acceleration
Therefre:
unit of acceleration = Newton / kg

Hope this helps :)
