What is acceleration?

FAQ
Acceleration is defined as how quickly an object changes its velocity; that is, the change of velocity divided by the change of time (the difference in time over which the velocity changed). There are three methods of acceleration: speeding up (accelerating), slowing down (decelerating), and turning (changing direction).

Furore Press Releases
Again , hasn't really been accurately checked as yet, but very, very, rapid. 0-60 takes around 3 & 1/2 secs, can't be more accurate than that without proper timing gear - it all happens very quickly! To put that in perspective most so called "Supercars" don't get under 4 secs, it accelerates faster than any Porsche or Lamborghini, all Ferraris except possibly the Enzo, quicker than the Ford GT & the Pagini Zonda, it's about the same as the Koenigsegg (which is about ?250,000!!).

What is acceleration? What does "g" stand for?

California Geological Survey - Frequently Asked Questions
Acceleration, in physics, corresponds to the force applied to something that causes it to change its position or speed. It is the force you feel when a car accelerates from a stop sign, pushing you back into the car seat (it's a horizontal force). Similarly, when an elevator starts moving, you feel more weight on your legs (it's a vertical force). When a roller coaster car makes a hairpin turn, the acceleration may push you to the side, or up or down.

What is the difference between Richter magnitude and acceleration?

California Geological Survey - Frequently Asked Questions
The Richter magnitude indicates the size or strength of an earthquake. For illustration, a parallel can be drawn with how the strength of an explosion will often be reported in terms of tons of TNT (or sticks of dynamite, in old movies). In contrast, the acceleration, or "g force" usually refers to the shaking experienced at a specific point due to the earthquake.

Why do you measure acceleration, instead of velocity, or displacement?

California Geological Survey - Frequently Asked Questions
Acceleration gives the forces directly, so it can be used to establish the forces that a structure experiences during an earthquake. Also, acceleration sensors are generally the most hardy of all seismic sensors. In addition, they are usually small, only a few inches on a side, so they are easy to place at key locations in a structure. The acceleration record can be computer processed and integrated to obtain the velocity and displacement records.

What is "TCP acceleration"?

IraqSat: Frequently-Asked Questions
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses a "three-way handshake" to initiate reliable data connections between two points in an IP network (such as the Internet). Because of the long round-trip times involved in VSAT communications, many commercial VSAT units "spoof" this process to initiate the TCP connection quickly. This spoofing is called "TCP Acceleration". It is performed by most systems sold by IraqSat, including Hughes DirecWay, Tachyon, and iDirect.

What is hardware acceleration?

NVDVD FAQ
It is common for recent graphics chips to support some level of the MPEG-2 decode in hardware. This offloads the CPU from performing the same decode tasks. For less CPU usage, make sure that the "Hardware acceleration" setting on the NVDVD Video property page is enabled. When hardware acceleration is enabled, the "Decoder Format" section of the NVDVD Video property page will indicate the DXVA mode that is currently being used.

What is programmable acceleration and what is it for?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
Programmable acceleration is the controller's ability to limit the rate at which speed is allowed to change. Transistors are very quick and can switch from full forward power to full reverse (a worse case scenario) in a matter of microseconds. Because of the motor's and the robot's inertia, such changes will result in a very high, sudden and potentially damaging overcurrent inside the controller. Such changes can also create significant mechanical stress to the robot's structure as well.

What is the acceleration scale?

The MOND pages
a0 = 1.2 x 10-10 m s-2, i.e., about one Angstrom per second per second. This is one part in 1011 of what we feel on the surface of the earth. The precise value depends on the distance scale to galaxies, so perhaps it would be better to say a0 = 1.2 x 10-10 m s-2 h752, where h = H0/75 is the Hubble Constant (the expansion rate of the universe) in units of H0 = 75 km s-1 Mpc-1. (Currently, most measurements report values in the neighborhood of H0 = 72 km s-1 Mpc-1.)

Why doesn't DirectX acceleration work in .NET Server?

Unofficial FAQ for Windows.NET Server 2003
Official Answer: This is by design. Graphics Acceleration is disabled by default, which disables DirectX functionality. This is to enhance server stability and is not needed in standard server scenarios. Re-enabling such functionality is not a valid server testing scenario. Unofficial Answer: To enable Direct X, you must first enable graphics acceleration.

How can I fix a cold acceleration problem?

Electric FAQs
I have mentioned this before, but will repeat it since we have a few new members. I was able to solve a cold acceleration problem by cleaning the connections to the high-voltage coil. The problem was one that had slowly gotten worse over 2 years, dispite the use of techron, and the usual maintanace, and hours of mental grinding trying to find the problem. The coil eventually got so dirty that it started to spark past the side, and then subsequently refused to start.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of acceleration? When should it be used?

Association for Bright Children of Ontario: Frequently Asked...
There are many forms of acceleration, some of which provide the child with the opportunity to learn material at a faster rate (compacting, telescoping) and some of which mean that the child is moved to a more appropriate learning level, that is, where there is something new to learn. Either or both of these goals is legitimate for gifted students. The process is surrounded by myths about what the child will "miss" and social issues that may arise.

Are not all Web Acceleration products the same?

FAQ
There are two broad categories of Web Acceleration products. The first category products are software programs that run on your machine. They achieve a certain degree of web acceleration by (a) attempting to "tweak" certain protocol related parameters and (b) by allocating huge amounts of your hard disk space for local cache, so that if you visit the same page frequently it need not be downloaded.
