A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity.
Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time.
Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.

Acceleration is the rate that speed changes.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
How do you calculate time with speed and acceleration?
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
How do you find distance given acceleration and speed?
acceleration times speed
