Acceleration is *defined* as a change in velocity over time.


And velocity itself is defined as:

# Vector measuring the time rate of change of displacement. It is
specified by magnitude (the speed) and direction. In general, the
velocity is a function of time:

Time appears twice in acceleration, and those appearances do not
cancel.

I've noticed over the years that people tend to not know
what "defined" means. For some strange reason, which I have
not figured out, this is a difficult concept for people like
the above to grasp.

I doubt there have been many threads that have been much
crazier than this one, and the loons are just now getting
wound up. Good grief this is junior high stuff.

Not really; it's pre-kindergarten stuff. It appears that
a majority of kids were encouraged to be stupid.
