SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 31

SSC CGL - 01 Dec 2022 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q31

Acceleration is measured in what SI unit?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. m/s2.

Acceleration, the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) in the International System of Units (SI). One meter per second squared represents an increase in velocity of one meter per second every second. This unit quantifies how quickly an object's velocity changes over time, whether it's speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. It's a crucial concept in physics and is used extensively in mechanics, engineering, and everyday life.
