The first thing you should know is that acceleration is a vector, therefore, it has magnitude, and direction.
By definition, we have that the vector acceleration is given by:
![a = \frac{dv}{dt}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20a%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bdv%7D%7Bdt%7D%5C%5C%20%20)
Where,
dv/dt: derived from the velocity vector with respect to time,
Therefore, the units of the vector acceleration are:
![a = \frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20a%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bs%7D%7D%7Bs%7D%5C%5C%20%20%20)
![a = \frac{m}{s^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20a%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bs%5E2%7D%20%20)
The symbol of acceleration is:
![a^{->}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20a%5E%7B-%3E%7D%20)
Answer:
The statements about acceleration that are true are:
a. the si units of acceleration are m/s2.
b. for acceleration, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
d. the symbol for acceleration is (True, only if the symbol is the same as above)
