Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.
-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same direction
that it's moving.
-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.
You can make an object slow down by applying a force in the opposite direction of its motion, such as friction or air resistance. Another way is to reduce the energy or speed of the object by transferring some of it to another object through collision or contact.
Friction acts to slow down the motion of an object. It opposes the relative motion between two contacting surfaces, reducing the speed of the object in motion.
That could be one description of "force" or "net force."Notice that it can also change the direction in which an object is moving,without changing its speed at all.
The measure of friction is the amount of energy lost by heating through contact. This energy is generally lost through abrading the surfaces, or at least re-arranging the surface molecules. Thus it will absorb kinetic energy, and the object will slow down.
Yes, a force can make an object slow down by applying a force in the opposite direction to the object's motion. This force works to counteract the object's velocity and eventually brings it to a stop.

By applying a force in the relevant direction against the object.

An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.

Decelerate means to slow down.

False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
