4. Acceleration
   Acceleration is the rate of increase of velocity. Acceleration tells you how much faster or slower a moving object gets every second. A negative acceleration is called a deceleration. The SI Unit of acceleration is the metre per second per second (ms^-2)

8. Acceleration
   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).

11. Acceleration
    The action of changing speed from any speed to a higher speed, irrespective of direction. Depending on drive design, the control of acceleration time may be known as 'Up time', 'Up rate' or similar variant. It is important to remember that some drive designs apply a single rate control to positive g...
