Re: acceleration

I'd add to John's response,

I'm having trouble with this definition of speed. I am accustomed to
velocity having components, x and y or tangential and radial but forward?

The forward direction in this context is essentially the tangential
direction, so if you understand the tangential component you understand the
forward component.
