| acceleration |
a measure of how fast the velocity of an object is changing. Acceleration = change in velocity devided by time taken. Units of acceleration are: metres per second per second: m/s?-example: if a car takes 8 seconds to accelerate from a speed of 16m/s to 20m/s, then it's acceleration is 0.5m/s?br>

| acceleration |
The rate of change with time of the velocity vector of a particle. If u is the vector velocity, the acceleration may be written as Du/Dt, where D/Dt is the material (or total) derivative. For most purposes in hydrodynamics where Eulerian coordinates are employed, the acceleration is decomposed as follows: where u/ t is called the local acceleration, and u ?u is called the convective acceleration.
