    [Noun]  | "ac*cel*er*a*tion" | \ ik-ˌse-lə-ˈrā-shən \


    1: the act or process of moving faster or happening more quickly : the act or process of accelerating

    2: ability to accelerate

    3: the rate of change of velocity with respect to time; broadly : change of velocity


    Origin: 15th century ;

     Borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French acceleratiun, borrowed from Latin accelerātiōn-, accelerātiō, from accelerāre "to {see: |accelerate|accelerate}" + -tiōn-, -tiō, suffix of action nouns;

    [Noun]  | "acceleration principle" 


    1: a theory in economics: an increase or decrease in income induces a corresponding but magnified change in investment


    Origin: 1936 ;

    [Noun]  | "angular acceleration" 


    1: the rate of change per unit time of angular velocity


    Origin: 1745 ;

    [Noun phrase]  | "acceleration of gravity" 


    1: the acceleration of a body in free fall under the influence of earth's gravity expressed as the rate of increase of velocity per unit of time and assigned the standard value of 980.665 centimeters per second per second —called also g


    Origin: 1722 ;

    [Noun]  | "acceleration" 


    1: an increasing in speed or rate of occurrence;


      * e.g., " ... Experts predict a steady acceleration in economic growth over the next two years. "





     [ "acceleration" ]

    1: Defined as the change in velocity over a period of time. Acceleration is a vector quantity and therefore is stated as a quantity with a direction.

      * e.g.,  ... 1) A car that is travelling at 2ms^-1 changes its speed to 6ms^-1 over a period of five seconds, and doesn't change direction. During that five seconds, it had an average acceleration of .8ms^-2 in initial direction. 


     [ "acceleration" ]

    2: a = (v-u)/t (where a, v and u are vectors)

      * e.g.,  ... 2) A car travelling forwards at 2ms^-1 is suddenly put into reverse and five seconds later it is travelling 2ms^-2 backwards. It's average acceleration is .8ms^-2 backwards (-.8ms^-2 forwards). Note in this example, the car would have been temporarily at rest just when it changes direction. It is still accelerating (in negative direction, ie backwards, ie decelerating) during this period. 


     [ "acceleration" ]

    3: Where (using SI units):


     [ "acceleration" ]

    4: a = acceleration of the body in metres per second per second (ms^-2, or metres per second squared)


     [ "acceleration" ]

    5: v = final velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)


     [ "acceleration" ]

    6: u = initial velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)


     [ "acceleration" ]

    7: t = time period between the initial and final velocity, in seconds (s)


     [ "acceleration" ]

    8: An accelerating body can also be decelerating (ie, negative acceleration) or be at rest. Also, instantaneous acceleration is a bit different.

     [ "Accelerate" ]

    1: Accelerate is a beautiful written dnf smut(dream not found) fanfic found on AO

      * e.g.,  ... Hey man have you read that dnf book? 

     [ "accelerate" ]

    1: To increase the velocity of something. To speed something up. To step on the gas.

      * e.g.,  ... I hit the gas and I accelerate. 

     [ "Accelerator" ]

    1: The accelerator is a sex move in which the man licks his index finger and tickles the womans anus while taking her from behind. The unexpected tingling sensation is a surprising and highly pleasurable experience for both parties.

      * e.g.,  ... Nic: Hey man have you tried the accelerator yet? 

     [ "accelerate" ]

    1: To speed(positive acceleration, aka acceleration) up slow down(Negative acceleration, aka deceleration)or change direction(aka turn)

      * e.g.,  ... I accelerated out of the street accelerated as i stopped at the light and accelerated as i turned the corner 

     [ "Accelerator" ]

    1: When a man/woman is destined to break up with their partner and so by sleeping with them you simply accelerate the process, thus providing a useful service, you are then an accelerator.

      * e.g.,  ... One bloke talking to another in a pub - "My friend Samantha is just waiting to dump her annoying boyfriend so if I sleep with her this weekend then I am just acting as an accelerator" 

     [ "Acceleration" ]

    1: The process of getting high on speed

      * e.g.,  ... Yeah baby! I'm getting mad acceleration on this shit! 

     [ "Accelerator" ]

    1: A 14 years old cute Japanese girl who is also a lolicon. Accelerator is a start up device that has a fuckable body that men can use. Her real name is Suzushina Yuriko, the strongest Level 5 Esper of Academy City, originated from the series "A Certain One Punch Touma". Accelerator has the ability to control vectors as well as being fingered and fucked. Accelerator loves Loli a lot.

      * e.g.,  ... Accelerator will destroy Sword Art Online using Level 5 Vectors if Kirito ever fingers her. 

     [ "Accelerated Reader" ]

    1: An exuse for schools to torture its students by forcing us to read and take tests on them to pass.

      * e.g.,  ... i hate accelerated reader. 

     [ "farticle accelerator" ]

    1: When, after releasing a cloud of farticles, you suddenly get up from your chair and walk across the room or office, trailing a cloud of farticulate matter behind you and contaminating the vicinity.

      * e.g.,  ... Dude! I heard that! Take your farticle accelerator somewhere else! (waves hands to dissipate farticle cloud)
