	34. A Law of Acceleration (1904). Adams, Henry. 1918. The Education of Henry Adams
		Rapid as this rate of acceleration in volume seems, it may be tested in a thousand ways without greatly reducing it.
		On the human mind as a moving body, the break in acceleration in the middle-ages is only apparent; the attraction worked through shifting forms of force, as the sun works by light or heat, electricity, gravitation, or what not, on different organs with different sensibilities, but with invariable law.
		The law of acceleration was definite, and did not require ten years more study except to show whether it held good.

		One common unit of acceleration is g, one g being the acceleration caused by the gravity of Earth at sea level on the equator (~9.81 m/s²)
		After defining his theory of Special Relativity, Albert Einstein realized that forces felt by objects undergoing constant acceleration are indistinguishable from those in a gravitational field, and thus defined General Relativity (which also resolved how gravity's effects could be limited by the speed of light, but that is another story).

	The Physics Classroom
		Since accelerating objects are constantly changing their velocity, you can say that the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance is not a constant value.
		Since acceleration is a velocity change over a time interval, the units for acceleration are velocity units divided by time units – thus (m/s)/s or (mi/hr)/s.
		Acceleration is a vector quantity so it will always have a direction associated with it.

	Funderstanding Roller Coaster Help
		The acceleration of a roller coaster depends on its mass and how strong is the force that is pushing or pulling it.
		The effective acceleration or deceleration due to gravity depends on the inclined angle of the track relative to ground; the steeper the slope is the greater the effective acceleration.
		The law goes on to say that the amount of acceleration depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied to it.

		Acceleration benefits many highly capable individuals by better motivating them toward schooling, enhancing their involvement with extracurricular activities, promoting more challenging options in the middle school and high school years, and preparing them to begin contributing to society at an earlier age.
		Acceleration options should be available at each stage of development in a childâs educational program from early entrance to primary school up through early college entry in order to even out the curriculum challenge.
		Acceleration policies in schools should ensure that opportunities such as the ones described here are available provisions in all gifted programs for individuals and groups of learners ready to advance beyond the standard curriculum at any age and in any area of learning.

	Acceleration
		Since accelerating objects are constantly changing their velocity, one can say that the distance traveled/time is not a constant value.
		So to say that an object has a negative acceleration as in Examples C and D is to simply say that its acceleration is to the left or down (or in whatever direction has been defined as negative).
		An acceleration of -2 m/s/s is an acceleration with a magnitude of 2 m/s/s which is directed in the negative direction.

		Angular acceleration, also called rotational acceleration, is a quantitative expression of the change in angular velocity that a spinning object undergoes per unit time.
		The magnitude, or length, of the angular acceleration vector is directly proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity, and is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s
		The direction of the angular acceleration vector is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation takes place.
