Finally I understand why the seconds are squared. Been so many years since school that I forgot that shit. Its talking about a velocity increase of X mps every second. So, if the acceleration was 5 mpss, then the velocity would be 5 mps after the first second, 10 after the second, and so on.

But what if the rate of accel is increasing, how would you express that in one number?
