The dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared". [2] An equivalent definition of the dyne is "that force which, acting for one second, will produce a change of velocity of one centimetre per second in a mass of one gram".
Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s 2, m·s −2 or ms −2, , or less commonly, as (m/s)/s. [ 1 ] As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.
For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...
ft/s 3.2808 The metre per second is the unit of both speed (a scalar quantity ) and velocity (a vector quantity , which has direction and magnitude) in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the speed of a body covering a distance of one metre in a time of one second .

SI derived units are named combinations – such as the hertz (cycles per second), newton (kg⋅m/s 2), and tesla (1 kg⋅s −2 ⋅A −1) – or a shifted scale, in the case of degrees Celsius. Certain units have been officially accepted for use with the SI. Some of these are decimalised, like the litre and electronvolt, and are considered ...
