deceleration

listen to the pronunciation of deceleration
Englisch - Englisch
The amount by which a speed or velocity decreases (and so a scalar quantity or a vector quantity)

The brakes produce a deceleration of 10 metres per second per second.

The act or process of decelerating

The rocket is now in deceleration.

{i} act of slowing down
rate of decrease in velocity with respect to time
Slowing down An acceleration in which the velocity gets slower
Deceleration basically means slowing down - reducing speed A negative answer for an acceleration would actually be a deceleration Like acceleration, deceleration is also measured in ms-2
The act or process of moving, or of causing to move, with decreasing speed Sometimes called negative acceleration
a decrease in speed; "the deceleration of the arms race"
the process which consists of taking energy from a particle beam, analogous to "slowing it down"
Words and phrases that mean the acceleration of an object is negative
a decrease in speed; "the deceleration of the arms race
1 A decrease in velocity or speed 2 To allow the vehicle to coast to idle speed from a high speed
decelerate
to reduce the rate of advancement of something, such as a disease
decelerate
to go slower
decelerate
to reduce the velocity of something
decelerate
to reduce the acceleration of something
decelerate
When a vehicle or machine decelerates or when someone in a vehicle decelerates, the speed of the vehicle or machine is reduced. the sensation of the train decelerating. accelerate + deceleration de·cel·era·tion The harder the brake pedal is pressed, the greater the car's deceleration. acceleration
decelerate
lose velocity; move more slowly; "The car decelerated"
decelerate
reduce the speed of; "He slowed down the car"
decelerate
lose velocity; move more slowly; "The car decelerated

When the rate of something such as inflation or economic growth decelerates, it slows down. Inflation has decelerated remarkably over the past two years. accelerate + deceleration de·cel·era·tion a significant deceleration in the annual rate of growth. acceleration. to go slower, especially in a vehicle = slow down   accelerate
