Acceleration, a, is equal to the change in velocity, Δv, over time, t, or, in equation form a= Δv/t. So, a=(10m/s - 0m/s)/(1s) = 10 m/s^2

The units for acceleration are m / s 2 m/s^{2} , or meters per second per second, so if a particle's velocity changes 10 m / s 10 m/s in 1 second, that's 10 meters per second, per second, therefore the acceleration is 10 m / s 2 10 m/s^{2}
