accelerations

Rates of speeding

Accelerations is the plural of acceleration—instances of speeding up or increasing velocity.

In physics, acceleration measures the rate of change in velocity over time: The accelerations recorded during launch exceeded predictions.

More broadly, accelerations can refer to any quickening of pace or process: Recent accelerations in technological change have transformed daily life.
