When you ride a bike down a hill, the force of gravity pulls you and the bike down the slope, causing you to accelerate. Your speed will increase as you descend due to the force of gravity overcoming friction and air resistance. It is important to use the brakes to control your speed and maintain balance while going downhill.

Well, honey, that's called coasting. You're just letting gravity do all the work while you sit back and enjoy the ride. No need to break a sweat when you can let the hill do all the heavy lifting for you. Just make sure to steer clear of any obstacles, unless you're feeling adventurous and want to add some excitement to your little joyride.

To slow it down, or decelerate. It is acceleration of a rollercoaster, or the change in the velocity vector that creates the thrill of a ride, not the speed. The design of the end of a coaster reverses the process.
