Force determines your acceleration and torque is directly proportional to force for that RPM.
F=M*A

Therefore Acceleration=Work/(M*Distance) or something like that

Actually you don't. You can figure instantenuous acceleration directly from power with the following formula:
acceleration = available power / (mass x speed)
Available power is the power generated at that given moment after you have deducted the power required to overcome drag and resistance losses.
