The three basic types of acceleration is absolute (acceleration in a direction), angular (acceleration due to rotation) , and Coriolis (acceleration due to a point changing its distance from the center of rotation while spinning Eg. swirling toilet water.)

The two kinds of acceleration are linear acceleration, which involves changes in an object's speed along a straight line, and angular acceleration, which involves changes in an object's rotational speed around an axis.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Take ANY change of velocity, and divide it by the time it takes to have such a change (it should best be a small time), and you get acceleration.
There is linear acceleration which is related to motion in some given direction.
a sub linear in x direction = d(v sub x) /dt
There is also angular acceleration which is related to motion following a curve, such as a circle.
a sub radial = dw/dt
where w is angular velocity in radians per second.

If you apply the same amount of force to two different objects, the one which has less mass will have larger acceleration. In other words, a heavier object requires more force to get the same acceleration.

Variable acceleration refers to an object's velocity changing by different amounts over time. This means that the object's speed is not changing at a constant rate. An example of variable acceleration is a car speeding up as it merges onto a highway, where the acceleration is increasing. Another example is a rocket slowing down as it enters the atmosphere due to air resistance, where the acceleration is decreasing.
