Adoptables

The word ‘Adoptables’ is a compound word which is based on bilingual terminology. ‘Adopt’ derives from the Latin word adopto, which means ‘to take and use’, and can be traced back to the Greek word ‘apoptos’. This word is linked to the concept of adoption and is used to describe the process of taking and using something, either material or non-material, which does not originate from oneself. On the other hand, the root ‘ables’ is derived from the Middle English word ‘able’, which means ‘capable’ or ‘worthy’. The addition of ‘able’ to ‘adopt’ produces the term ‘adoptable’, which means something that can be taken and used, presenting an opportunity to interact with and provide care for it. Morphologically, the term ‘Adoptables’ is formed by a combination of two morphemes which convey different meanings. ‘Adopt’ deals with the process of ‘taking and using’ whereas ‘ables’ emphasises the capability of the adopted entity to interact in a given context. These two morphemes are subtly connected through their original roots, and together they form a compound word that expresses a comprehensive concept. Pragmatically, ‘Adoptables’ is a term used to refer to an object that can be adopted, providing ownership and responsibility for the object’s wellbeing.

Acceleration

Acceleration is a fundamental concept in physics that refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It can be described as the process of increasing speed or the rate at which an object's velocity changes. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It is often measured in meters per second squared (m/s2) or g-force, which is the gravitational force acting on an object. Acceleration can occur in a straight line or around a curve, and it requires a net force to act on the object. One important aspect of acceleration is its relationship with force, as described by Newton's second law of motion. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words, the greater the force acting on an object, the greater its acceleration will be, and the greater its mass, the smaller its acceleration will be for a given force. This relationship is crucial in understanding the motion of objects in the physical world. Another important aspect of acceleration is its role in describing motion in everyday life. Acceleration can be observed in a wide range of phenomena, from the motion of a car or a ball thrown in the air to the acceleration due to gravity.
