That is sometimes called deceleration. In physics, however, any change of velocity is simply called "acceleration".

Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?

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.


What is negative acceleration also called?

Negative acceleration is also called as deceleration.


What is An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?

Actually, an increase in speed during a given interval of time is called acceleration, not negative acceleration. Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, refers to a decrease in speed over time.


A decrease in velocity is called what?

Negative acceleration, or deceleration.


What is called negative accelarration?

Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.


An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called?

The shift of velocity per unit of given time is called acceleration. The types of acceleration are negative acceleration and positive acceleration.


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.


An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?

No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation or deceleration..


What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?

positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.


Can a car have negative velocity and negative acceleration?

It cannot have negative velocity, it can have negative acceleration.


What is the decrease of speed called in physics?

Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.


What do you call a negative acceleration?

Deceleration- the opposite of acceleration.
