Make no mistake, it's TORQUE that's commonly used in the calculations for acceleration.

not true, you can apply torque without generating power. try applying 90 ft-lb of torque to a bolt that's torqued to 100. it won't move, but you are still applying a torque to it. you are doing no WORK, and are therefore producing no power.
