Which of the following are appropriate units for tangential acceleration?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tangential acceleration is expressed in units of meters per second squared (m/s^2) because it represents the change in linear velocity of an object moving in a circular path. Therefore, the appropriate unit choice is only D, m/s/s or m/s^2. The other options are not appropriate because rad/s is a unit of angular velocity, not acceleration, and m/s is a unit of linear velocity, not acceleration.
