In physics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change (or time derivative) of velocity. It is thus a vector quantity with dimension length/time2. In [SI units]? this is meter/second2. |

Acceleration is related to force and mass by way of Newton's second law: F = ma
mention Einstein's ideas about the indistinguishability of accelerated reference frames and the presence of a gravitational field?
