acceleration
Significado: The rate of change of velocity of an object over time; the process of increasing in speed or the rate at which something develops more quickly.
In physics, acceleration is measured in metres per second squared (m/s²). Gravity produces a constant acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s² at the Earth's surface. The term is widely used figuratively to describe any process of speeding up, such as the acceleration of technological change, economic growth, or career progression. The verb form is 'accelerate.'
