Proper acceleration is the acceleration that an object experiences as measured by an accelerometer carried with that object. It is the physical acceleration felt by an observer in a non-inertial reference frame, taking into account any forces acting on the object, such as gravitational and inertial forces. In contrast to coordinate acceleration, which can vary depending on the observer's frame of reference, proper acceleration is an absolute measure of how an object is accelerating in its own frame.
