Find the dimensions [a] of acceleration.

Express your answer as powers of length ( /)
, \mathrm{mass}\space (m), and time (
(t).
Hints
Hint 1. Equation for acceleration
In physics, acceleration
a is defined as the change in velocity in a certain time. This is shown by the equation
a=\Delta v / \Delta t. The
\Delta is a symbol that means "the change in.

Answer:

m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity is units of m/s and time is in units of s

so acceleration = Δv / Δt

would be acceleration = m/s / s = m/s^2
