Acceleration
Videos
In physics, acceleration is a measure of how fast and in what direction an object's speed and direction of motion are changing. It is defined as the rate of change of the velocity. Like velocity, acce
Drag racing is a sport in which specially-built vehicles compete to be the fastest to accelerate from a standing start.

Newton's laws of motion
Videos
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics,
Acceleration
…or centripetal acceleration during circular motions) is the component of the acceleration that changes the direction of the object's velocity. In Newtonian mechanics, the acceleration of a mass arises from forces acting on it, with its net acceleration being a result of the net force acting on it. By Newton's second…

A bouncing ball photographed at 25 frames per second using a stroboscopic flash. In between bounces, the ball's height as a function of time is close to being a parabola, deviating from a parabolic arc because of air resistance, spin, and deformation into a non-spherical shape upon impact.

Rockets, like the Space Shuttle Atlantis, expel mass during operation. This means that the mass being pushed, the rocket and its remaining onboard fuel supply, is constantly changing.
