1. deceleration

   Deceleration refers to the act or process of slowing down or decreasing speed. In physics, it is often referred to as negative acceleration, indicating a reduction in velocity over time. Deceleration can be due to various factors such as friction, resistance, or application of brakes in a moving vehicle. It is generally measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) or feet per second squared (ft/s²).
