Why do scientist often refer to deceleration as negative acceleration?

Deceleration is often referred to negative acceleration because deceleration is not AA commonly used word.


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 do you call a negative acceleration?

Deceleration- the opposite of acceleration.


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).


When an object slows it has what acceleration?

Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.


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


What does decceleration mean?

Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.


What is the decrease of velocity?

Deceleration or negative acceleration.


What is the term that describes a decrease in acceleration?

it is still acceleration, but it is negative.


What is negative acceleration also called?

Negative acceleration is also called as deceleration.


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


A decrease in velocity is called what?

Negative acceleration, or deceleration.
