Go faster

Usage examples of accelerate.

Sword has exempted the transaction from taxes in order to accelerate the buy-out.

All I wanted was a drive that would let us accelerate at multiple gees without flattening the passengers.

To accelerate at thirty-two gee, the capsule must be about twenty meters from the disk to keep effective gravity inside to one gee.

Mersenne had immediately gone to general quarters and orderedIllustrious to accelerate as rapidly as possible away from the other ships.

It would accelerate to relativistic velocities between Magaria and Zanshaa, then broadcast its coded contents to the capital.

But they had come in on the space drive, and had gotten fairly close before the gravitational field had drained the power from the main coil, and it was not until the space field had broken that they had started to accelerate toward the star.

George nor Gracie accelerates, their perspectives are on precisely equal footing.

A single laser-guided missile dropped from the racks and accelerated at four thousand gravities.

There is no way of distinguishing an accelerated motion from a gravitational field force, right?

Grounders never got used to the fact that in orbit, you decelerated by firing your rockets to move into a higher, slower orbit, and accelerated by using your retros to drop into a lower, faster orbit.

Dane saw the gray of Shver skin, black-clothed, and the tension accelerated into danger.

Naxid missiles, Martinez realized, accelerated to relativistic velocities outside the system, then fired through the wormhole along the route they knew Chenforce had to take.

Three and a half days later the enemy raced past Zanshaa without firing a missile at Sula or anyone else, and accelerated on a path for the Vandrith gas giant.

Even under the accelerated building schedules produced in wartime, it would have taken ages to put one of those giants together.

The observations of such individuals will be more complicated to analyze than those of constant-velocity observers, whose motion is more serene, but nevertheless we can ask whether there is some way of taming this complexity and bringing accelerated motion squarely into our newfound understanding of space and time.
