Deceleration.

Slowing down can also be expressed by quoting a minus number for the amount of acceleration, e.g. -5m/s.

An object slowing down has what type of acceleration?

Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration.


Is deceleration mean negative of acceleration?

Deceleration is the negative of acceleration when the object is slowing down. However, it's important to note that deceleration is actually a type of acceleration, where the object is accelerating in the opposite direction of its initial velocity.


When your slowing down is your acceleration positive or negative?

When you are slowing down, your acceleration is negative. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and when you are slowing down, your velocity is decreasing. A negative acceleration indicates a decrease in velocity in the given direction.


If a car is slowing down can its acceleration be positive?

No, if a car is slowing down, its acceleration is negative. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so if the car's velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is in the opposite direction.


An object slowing down has a what acceleration?

Deceleration


Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?

Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).


What is negative and acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.


What does a negative acceleration indicate?

A negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down. It means that the velocity of the object is decreasing over time.


Why is it that when you slow down you accelerate?

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Slowing down is a negative acceleration.


An object that is slowing down is undergoing acceleration?

no, deceleration.


The term deceleration means?

Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.


What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?

Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
