Acceleration

Definition: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time. It is vector. In calculus terms, acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time or, alternately, the first derivative of the velocity with respect to time.

The SI units for acceleration are m / s2 (meters per second squared ormeters per second per second).
