Acceleration
(gcide) | Acceleration \Ac*cel`er*a"tion\, n. [L. acceleratio: cf. F.
acc['e]l['e]ration.]
The act of accelerating, or the state of being accelerated;
increase of motion or action; as, a falling body moves toward
the earth with an acceleration of velocity; -- opposed to
retardation.
[1913 Webster]
A period of social improvement, or of intellectual
advancement, contains within itself a principle of
acceleration. --I. Taylor.
[1913 Webster] (Astr. & Physics.)
Acceleration of the moon, the increase of the moon's mean
motion in its orbit, in consequence of which its period of
revolution is now shorter than in ancient times.
Acceleration and retardation of the tides. See {Priming
of the tides}, under Priming.
Diurnal acceleration of the fixed stars, the amount by
which their apparent diurnal motion exceeds that of the
sun, in consequence of which they daily come to the
meridian of any place about three minutes fifty-six
seconds of solar time earlier than on the day preceding.
Acceleration of the planets, the increasing velocity of
their motion, in proceeding from the apogee to the perigee
of their orbits.
[1913 Webster] |

parallelogram of accelerations
(gcide) | Parallelogram \Par`al*lel"o*gram\, n. [Gr. ?; ? parallel + ? to

A right-lined quadrilateral figure, whose opposite sides are
parallel, and consequently equal; -- sometimes restricted in
popular usage to a rectangle, or quadrilateral figure which
is longer than it is broad, and with right angles.
[1913 Webster]
Parallelogram of velocities, parallelogram of forces,
parallelogram of accelerations, parallelogram of momenta,
etc. (Mech.), a parallelogram the diagonal of which
represents the resultant of two velocities, forces,
accelerations, momenta, etc., both in quantity and
direction, when the velocities, forces, accelerations,
momenta, etc., are represented in quantity and direction
by the two adjacent sides of the parallelogram.
