Throwing something up in the air (gravity is then acting in the opposite direction) or anything following simple harmonic motion e.g. twanging a stretched rubber band (the elastic force is opposite to the motion of the vibration) or a person on a swing.

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.


When final velocity is less than initial velocity is an example of?

Deceleration (or negative acceleration).


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.


What is another name for acceleration?

In general, slowing down is negative acceleration. Some might call it deceleration. Braking a car or bike is a simple example of negative 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).


What is a negative acceleration called?

You'll find a lot of people who call it "deceleration". But in real Physics, there's no such thing.There's only positive or negative acceleration, depending on whether the acceleration is inthe same or opposite direction compared to what you decided to call the positive direction.Negative acceleration is sometimes, but not always, associated with something that's slowing down.


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 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.
