| acceptance |
Acceptance, in spirituality, mindfulness, and human psychology, usually refers to the experience of a situation without an intention to change that situation. Acceptance does not require that change is possible or even conceivable, nor does it require that the situation be desired or approved by those accepting it. Indeed, acceptance is often suggested when a situation is both disliked and unchangeable, or when change may be possible only at great cost or risk. ...

| 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.
