velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time, or v = dx/dt
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, a = dv/dt
deceleration in the true sense doesn't exist, for it is just a term for negative acceleration. You wouldn't say that you are develociting if you are in reverse.

Why is acceleration a factor in force and not velocity?
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time so it is actually intimately related to velocity.
How are veloc ty and acceleration related?
Acceleration is the rate of velocity incerease: > Acceleration = velocity increase / time > Units : metres per second increase per second
Is a velocity graph the same thing as an acceleration graph?
Velocity is defined by physicists as both speed and direction, that is to say, if you are moving at 30 feet per second in a northerly direction, that is a velocity. Acceleration means a change in velocity. Physicists consider speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction all to be forms of acceleration; in more everyday usage, acceleration us used to mean speeding up and deceleration means slowing down. So, if your speed increases from 30 feet per second to 40 feet per second, that is acceleration.
How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?
It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.
How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.
How are deceleration and acceleration related?
Acceleration and deceleration are related by their their sign. Acceleration is positive ( increase in velocity with time) and deceleration is negative (decrease in velocity with time).
What is the meaning and formula for deceleration?
Deceleration is the rate of decrease of velocity with respect to time. It is the negative of acceleration. The formula for deceleration is the same as that of acceleration, only that the acceleration is represented as negative. The formula is: - (deceleration) = (final velocity) - (initial velocity) time Therefore, (deceleration) = (initial velocity) - (final velocity) time
Is deceleration a form acceleration?
Acceleration and deceleration are both the rate at which velocity changes, Deceleration is a negative acceleration. In an equation the rate of deceleration is shown as a negative acceleration valueCentripetal acceleration is different and represents the rate of change of tangential velocity. There is no equivalent centripetal deceleration.
What is the decrease of velocity?
Deceleration or negative acceleration.
What it is called when velocity changes?
acceleration or deceleration
A decrease in velocity is called what?
Negative acceleration, or deceleration.
Which is also called as retardation or deceleration?
Deceleration is a special case of what physicists call "acceleration" - a rate of change of velocity.
The rate at which the velocity of an objechanges over time is?
Acceleration/Deceleration.
When final velocity is less than initial velocity is an example of?
Deceleration (or negative acceleration).
Can anything have an acceleration in the opposite diretion to its velocity?
Deceleration can be seen as opposing the velocity direction.
What is called negative accelarration?
Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.
What is another word for deceleration?
Technically, it is acceleration either way. If something is slowing down, the acceleration is negative. Slow down or Decrease velocity
