Acceleration(a) = [final velocity(v) - initial velocity(u)] / time(s)
Algebrtaically
a = [ v - u ] / s
A negative result indicates deceleration
a = [20 - 40 ]= / 4
a = [-20] / 4
a = -5 m/s^(2)
This is negative which matches the question of slowing down/deceleration.
You can't figure "acceleration" from this information. Maybe you meant "Deceleration"? Ask again.
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
If the 0.75 refers to seconds, then his acceleration is -66.66... (repeating) metres per second^2.
80 m/s2 up
-5 m/s² (APEX)

If your speed slows down, yYou will have negative acceleration or deceleration.
When an object slows down, it still has acceleration, but the acceleration is negative (deceleration). Deceleration is a decrease in the velocity of an object over time.

Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
-2 m/s^2
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
If the 0.75 refers to seconds, then his acceleration is -66.66... (repeating) metres per second^2.
80 m/s2 up
66.7 m/s2
When an object slows down, it has negative acceleration, also known as deceleration. This means the object's velocity is decreasing over time.
