accelerate [*k.'sel*rejt] |
Definition: "accelerate"
refers to the act of increasing the speed or rate of an object, process,
or phenomenon. It implies the enhancement of velocity, progress, or development. Acceleration can be measured in units such as meters per second squared (m/s˛) or miles per hour squared (mph˛). It occurs when there is a change in velocity over a period of time, either increasing or decreasing. Acceleration can be experienced in various contexts, such as in physics, sports, or economic growth. The concept of acceleration is a fundamental principle in Newtonian mechanics, as described by Newton's second law of motion.
