Difference between metres per seconds

Dragomistress:
I am rather confused on the differences between:

m/s-2 and m/s2

and

m/s-1 and m/s

Thank you :D

So just to clarify, (if I preferred), I could just only use m/s^2 (for acceleration) and m/s (for speed) for the full scope?

m s-2 (as opposed to m/s-2) is preferred. But m/s2 is correct.

jamonwindeyer:
Mathematically, \(ms^{-2}\) and \(\frac{m}{s^2}\), and even \(m/s^2\), are the exact same thing. You'd get marks for using any of the three; but as Rui said - The first is the most common :)
