Yes, the second interpretation is correct.

> Velocity is change in position w/ respect to time ( a vector )
> Acceleration is change in velocity w/ respect to time ( a vector )
> Speed is distance travelled w/ respect to time ( a scalar, equal to length of velocity )

Erm, the same exists for rotation, except velocity = angular momentum, and acceleration = torque. But err.. don't worry about rotation, it's evil.
If it only works in Internet Explorer; it doesn't work.
