Well, you're partway there.  It still isn't clear from the profile of
this procedure what it does.  After all, if you have an object
traveling at velocity Velocity m/sec for a period of Time seconds,
what's the acceleration?  Zero, since it's not getting any faster over
that time.  And I presume you're not writing a procedure whose purpose
is just to return 0.0 every time, right?  So I still don't know what
this does.
