Hello, how can I slowy accelerate my game object body with Matter Physics? In arcade physics there is  
setAcceleration() method. I don’t see anything like that in the physics I use

You can try using `applyForce(vec)` [https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Matter.Sprite.html#applyForce\_\_anchor](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Matter.Sprite.html#applyForce__anchor)
