The officer is describing the motorcycle's acceleration
That is, he's describing how the motorcycle's velocity changes when compared to the time. That's the formula for calculating the average acceleration of any body.
I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man.
But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses". That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.
