So, whatever units you used here is the same units you get in the linear fit. Well, you did it. You found the acceleration of the grasshopper. Of course this just brings up some more questions ...

Since the slope of the linear fit is 0.0541 m/s 2 (yes, the slope has units), then the acceleration of this cart would be 0.108 m/s 2. ... But if you calculate the acceleration without the graph, ...

REFERRING to Mr. Keeping's letter on p. 478 of NATURE of Sept. 29, I agree that learners of the elements would be helped by a handier specification for acceleration; but a name for unit velocity ...

IT is a little surprising to find in Dr. Shaw's paper (December 16, 1913), “. . . He (Mr. Whipple) points out that we have no special name for the unit of acceleration.” In NATURE of June 25 ...
