its when something is slowing down
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
The force responsible for slowing down an object in motion is typically friction. Friction is the resistance force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves across a surface. This force converts the kinetic energy of the object into heat energy, causing it to slow down.
the car is at a constant speed---------------------------------------------------------I'm pretty sure that if the acceleration is negative, the car is slowing down. But if the velocity is negative, the car is either heading south or down (velocity refers to speed and direction.. according to my physics teacher).
Air resistance / drag and friction are both forces which act in the opposite direction to the motion of a car
An object with uniform motion has a constant speed and direction. This means it travels at the same velocity without speeding up or slowing down.

It provides a force in the direction opposite to the objects motion thus slowing it down.
An object with uniform motion has a constant speed and direction. This means it travels at the same velocity without speeding up or slowing down.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion between two surfaces. It resists the relative motion of the surfaces, slowing down or stopping the movement.
An object's motion can change by speeding up, slowing down, changing direction, changing speed, or coming to a complete stop.
Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.
The falling motion of the broom is the acceleration of the broom The broom hitting the floor and slowing down is the deceleration of the broom. Remember, acceleration is the speeding up and deceleration is the slowing down (De is the Latin root meaning down, so down in speed/ decreasing in speed...)
