8th Grade Opinion[edit]

We're learning about m/s/s in the eighth grade here, and here would be America. We don't use the metric system [though we should here] but in my physical science book it is noted as "meter per second per second" or "meter per second squared".

Phrasing of article[edit]

  1. A measurement of acceleration can be a scalar or a vector, but not both. Therefore, it's better to use "or" in the relevant sentence.
  2. Newton's second law is the statement F=ma. The statement 1 N = 1 kg · m s-2 is a special case, or example, of Newton's second law.
  3. Quotation marks are for quoting, not emphasis.

Delete second paragraph[edit]

I propose to delete the second paragraph of the current version. It rambles onto other matters and will just be a source of confusion to the reader. The first paragraph says all that needs to be said. Any comments? Xxanthippe 22:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Bogus article[edit]

Acceleration is not a base or named derived unit in the International system of units. Many kind of quantities (in fact, almost any you can think of) can be expressed in the SI units - that's what they were designed for. Only a handful of those quantities have their own named units in SI. Thearticle is false inthat sense, and misleading. I've therefore nominated it for deletion.
