An example of Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.
Imagine you are at sea and sailing along nicely a few miles off the coast of Corsica. You have the Genoa poled out and are running downwind. You are single handed. You pop down below to make yourself a cup of tea. Everything is fine. All of a sudden the wind shifts and you gybe. The pole slams across the forestay bent; the genoa is backed and the pole is trapped under the sail. As the boat lurches you are scolded with coffee. You rush on deck to sea the wind picking up and the boat floundering.
You are confident you will soon bring things under control. However, the wind is gusting alarmingly. A squawl from the hills. You cannot get the whisker pole off to furl the sail. You look up and in horror you see a ship coming at you dead ahead. The wind gusts and the boat is knocked down. You slip and land hard on deck bruising your arm.
And so it accumulates as you experience Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.

The acceleration towards the center of the circle is known as centripetal acceleration.
An object traveling in a circular path may have a constant speed, but it is not traveling in a straight line. The velocity and direction are changing as velocity is a vector. A change in velocity means the object is accelerating.

Get the Centripetal acceleration mug.Accelerator is an Anime character from Toaru Series (Toaru Majutsu no Index, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator).
He is 16 years old and 168cm tall. He has white hair, slim body figure and red eyes. In Toaru Majutsu no Index, he was shot in the head, and because of that he needs to wear an electrode on his neck that helps him communicate and crutch that helps him walk. He usually wear white and black clothing.
His ablitity is Vector Manipulating. It's very strong ability and that's why is Accelerator the strongest esper in Academy City. In Toaru Majutsu no Index season 3, he became an angel.
Accelerator's personality is very simple. He is cold, emotionless, but he has a soft spot for Last Order (a clone of Misaka Mikoto he once saved). Misaka Worst (another clone) stated him as a tsundere, because he doesn't like to show his true feelings.
