I googled this but I still don’t get it. I’m not mathematics inclined at all so literally make this a ELI5!

Its a measure of acceleration!

Metres per second is speed – the amount of distance (measured in metres) that an object gain per second.

Metres per second per second is the amount of *speed* that an object gains per second.

If each second, an object is moving 1 m/s faster than it was the second before, it’s acceleration is 1 m/s *per second*
