Acceleration (Car Engine)

Rate of increase in velocity with respect to time; equal to net torque divided by inertia.

Acceleration (Chemistry)

Measure of how fast velocity is changing, so we can think of it as the change in velocity over time. The most common use of acceleration is acceleration due to gravity which can also appear as the gravitational constant (9.8 m/s2).

Acceleration (Classic Yoga)

Acceleration, as well as retardation, proceeds in waves. Therefore, when perceiving a wave of acceleration one must succeed in casting into it as many seeds as possible. (LMG II, p 128)

Acceleration (Earthquake)

When you step on the accelerator in the car or put on the brakes, the car goes faster or slower. When it is changing from one speed to another, it is accelerating (faster) or decelerating (slower). This change from one speed, or velocity, to another is called acceleration. During an earthquake when the ground is shaking, it also experiences acceleration. The peak acceleration is the largest acceleration recorded by a particular station during an earthquake.

Acceleration (Education, Gifted Education)

Faster presentation of content to more closely match the speed at which gifted students learn. Compare with grade skipping. See pacing, compacting.

Acceleration (Golf)

The steady increase in speed most often associated with the hands, arms or club. (Tiger Woods has tremendous acceleration through the hitting area).

Acceleration (Import Cars)

An increase in velocity or speed.

Acceleration (Mortgage)

The right of the mortgagee (lender) to demand the immediate repayment of the mortgage loan balance upon the default of the mortgagor (borrower), or by using the right vested in the Due-on-Sale Clause.

Acceleration (Pavement)

Increase in rate of hardening or strength development of concrete.

Acceleration (Purchasing A Home)

The right of the mortgagee (lender) to demand the immediate repayment of the mortgage loan balance upon the default of the mortgagor (borrower), or by using the right vested in the Due-on-Sale Clause. This latter is, of course, the opposite of the Santa Claus.

Acceleration (Remote Control Cars)

A measure of how quickly a car can accelerate. Affected by items like the weight of the car and its rotating mass.

Acceleration (Robotics)

How fast something changes speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration (Rocketry)

Increasing velocity with time.

Acceleration (Sensors)

The speed of change of velocity

Acceleration (Vibration)

Acceleration is a vector quantity that specifies the time rate of change of velocity.
