You'll find a lot of people who call it "deceleration". But in real Physics, there's no such thing.
There's only positive or negative acceleration, depending on whether the acceleration is in
the same or opposite direction compared to what you decided to call the positive direction.
Negative acceleration is sometimes, but not always, associated with something that's slowing down.

∙ 15y agoIn general, slowing down is negative acceleration. Some might call it deceleration. Braking a car or bike is a simple example of negative acceleration.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNegative acceleration describes a decrease in velocity over time. Accleration is an increase and zero acceleration is no change in velocity.

What is negative acceleration also called?
Negative acceleration is also called as deceleration.
An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called?
The shift of velocity per unit of given time is called acceleration. The types of acceleration are negative acceleration and positive acceleration.
An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?
No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation 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.
What is negative acceleration also called?
Negative acceleration is also called as deceleration.
Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?
Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.
What do you called the negative acceleration?
That is sometimes called deceleration. In physics, however, any change of velocity is simply called "acceleration".
A decrease in velocity is called what?
Negative acceleration, or deceleration.
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.
An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called?
The shift of velocity per unit of given time is called acceleration. The types of acceleration are negative acceleration and positive acceleration.
What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?
positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.
Can a car have negative velocity and negative acceleration?
It cannot have negative velocity, it can have negative acceleration.
What is the decrease of speed called in physics?
Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
Why is retardation called negative acceleration?
retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?
No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation or deceleration..
