That's a very unscientific word that's generally used to mean "slowing down".

Do cyclotrons form synthetic elements by decelerating or accelerating?

Its accelerating I got it right


When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be a. stationary. b. decelerating. c. in free fall.?

c. Free fall


Does gravity stop you from jumping?

Gravity works equally on every particle in a "standard" object which is why all objects fall at the same rate. Yes, you can exert an upward force greater than 1G when jumping, but even during the jump, gravity is already working on decelerating your upward speed and pulling you back down.


What is a situation in which balanced forces are acting?

Well, that's a pretty broad question with many many many answers. Pretty much anytime you see something where nothing is happening, there are balanced forces at work. A book on a table, for example: The table is pushing up on the book with the same amount of force that the book is pushing down on the table. However, sometimes even when it appears that something IS happening, balanced forces can be found. For example, an airplane, in level flight (neither climbing nor decending) and is neither accelerating nor decelerating has 2 obvious pairs of balanced forces: Gravity and Lift are in balance, since the plane is neither ascending nor descending, and thrust and drag are in balance since it's neither accelerating nor decelerating.


A graph showing zero slope for the position vs time always indicates that the object is not moving?

If the speed/time graph slops negatively, that's an indication that the speed is decreasing, i.e. the object is slowing down. The negative slop is also called negative acceleration, since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
