The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
Acceleration is the term used to denote the change of velocity with time. It can be in the form of either speeding up (positive acceleration) or slowing down (negative acceleration).
it is still acceleration, but it is negative.
Acceleration is the term that refers to any change in velocity. It can either be a speeding up (positive acceleration) or a slowing down (negative acceleration) of an object.
Yes, the scalar value of acceleration can be a negative number. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the speed of an object is reducing (it is slowing down), then the object is subject to a negative acceleration. An example is when you apply the brakes in a car. The brakes change the speed of the car from a higher value to a lower value, thus imposing a negative acceleration. Colloquially, people speak of deceleration, however the correct term is negative acceleration.
A minus sign is used in acceleration and deceleration formulas to indicate direction. If the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the motion, a negative sign is used. For deceleration, which is a form of acceleration that opposes the motion, a negative sign is also used to show the decrease in velocity.

deceleration aka slowing down?

Yes no doubt. It is a short term.

It cannot have negative velocity, it can have negative acceleration.
Deceleration is often referred to negative acceleration because deceleration is not AA commonly used word.
Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
Yes. That is what the term deceleration means.
