Acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration is inherently a vector quantity, and an object will have non-zero acceleration if its speed and/or direction is changing.
Motion with constant acceleration
Java Applet showing the position, velocity and acceleration of a car undergoing constant acceleration
Multimedia Physics Studios: Acceleration
A GIF animation which explores, at a simple level, basic acceleration.
Gravitational Acceleration in Schwarzschild Coordinates
Derivation of acceleration for a particle in a radial orbit in Schwarzchild geometry which, surprisingly, depends on its trajectory.
