For the first question it would be a unit obtained from the change in velocity per unit of time or m/s^2.
The vf and vi represent the final and initial velocity of the object and or item.
Knowing the formula for acceleration is simply change in velocity divided by time
Vi = 0
Vf = 27 m/s
t = 10 s
Vf = vi + at
27 = 10a
a = 27/10 or 2.7 m/s^2.
