How is the scientific meaning of acceleration different from how we use the term acceleration in everyday life?

1 answer:

Most people think that "acceleration" means "speeding up".
(Maybe you use the word that way. I don't.)
I think this comes from the gas pedal in the car being called
the "accelerator".

The real meaning of "acceleration" is: any change in motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction even if speed
doesn't change.
