Space Physics
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity over time. In the context of space physics, it is crucial for understanding how charged particles move through different environments, such as radiation belts and when interacting with cosmic rays. The forces that cause acceleration can lead to various phenomena, including changes in particle energy and dynamics, which play significant roles in both the ring current and cosmic ray modulation.
congrats on reading the definition of acceleration. now let's actually learn it.
