• $s^{-2}×s=s^{-1}$ ... – Nehal Samee Apr 9 '18 at 12:50
• Yes they do, as Nehal Sammee has demonstrated. In my opinion it's a good thing to include units when you substitute data into an equation, and to simplify the units at the end, treating them like algebraic symbols. It's a good check on your maths. In the case you've presented, it's re-assuring that the final unit is what it should be: m/s. – Philip Wood Apr 9 '18 at 13:23
