Have you actually tried it?

When you slide Acceleration all the way to the left, Sensitivity has no 
effect anymore. So the Sensitivity-slider only affects acceleration.

When you slide Acceleration all the way to the right, Sensitivity 
determines the speed at which Acceleration kicks in. If set to Low, you 
get almost instant acceleration. If set to high, you need to move the 
pointer pretty fast before it accelerates.
