No. That is slowing down. There is both acceleration and deceleration. 
And there is still forward motion...

Roy, he said the textbook definition of accelerate. Roy, deceleration is 
nothing more than a negative acceleration. See, Roy? That's another use 
for negative numbers, which you don't understand!

I hate to have to point this out, but since acceleration is any change
in speed or direction there is no such a thing has "negative
acceleration." That expression is an impossibility as a science
based word. The concept of slowing down exists of course, but the
nomenclature is limited by the broad definition of the word accelerate.

What frosts me even more is that I have to acknowledge that our resident
troll is correct.

In ordinary mechanics (physics) there is no deceleration, acceleration 
is a vector which can add to or subtract from the velocity vector [over 
time] or act at an angle such as an orbiting planet. Its components can 
be positive or negative. In one dimension it can be represented as a 
positive or negative number along the x axis.

An exception is friction, which always opposes the velocity relative to 
whatever it has frictional contact with. This opposition to the motion 
is seen as deceleration. Slide an object across the floor and it slows 
and stops on the floor or "decelerates". When it stops there is no 
longer any deceleration (or acceleration for that matter), the 
acceleration is 0.

idiot, */_that's_NOT_deceleration_/*. A deceleration is *_a_lowering_*

Hmmm. At each point of the ball that is in contact with the table, the
frictional force on that point of the ball is opposite to the velocity
of that point relative to the table. While the ball is hard, the table
is not; at any instant there are multiple points of the ball in contact
with the table. The spin of the ball can make those points' velocity
vectors not be parallel to the velocity vector of the ball's
center-of-mass. The ball is quite rigid, and one must sum the forces on
all those points to get the net force on the ball.

absolutely. It can also become *towards_the_same_direction*, if the ball 
spins forward.

It must be nice to be this clairvoyant about what actually happens
at this tiny indented interface.
I wouldn't be so sure.
FYI, conditions at the interface can be quite extreme,
with enough slippage to cause burn marks.

Certainly, and there is no ground for believing
that the instantaneous friction force must be locally opposite
to the local velocity. (apart from theoretical prejudice)
Remember hat the table is compacted felt:
it has long range order compared to the size of the contact point.
(hairs)

And yes, it is quite remarkable what the masters are capable of,
(see under trick shots)

The interesting thing about living languages is that users are
permitted, perhaps even encouraged, to innovate usage of words including
the invention of new words. From that standpoint I have no personal
objection to the use of "deceleration" in common speech. In settings
such as this one, a semi-formal science discussion group, it is a
necessity that scientifically accepted verbiage be used.

One can make an argument for deceleration as you have done, and make a
compelling case where narrowing the definition seems appropriate. I have
no nit to pick with you about "decelerate." As a matter of general usage
in a science setting it doesn't have credence. You've made a narrow case
that doesn't appear to have any avenue for valid dissent. Of course the
acceptance of the definition of words in the science community is
similar to that in definitions and acceptability of words in the general
usage community albeit it is a smaller subset where the science
community is concerned.

Interestingly enough my mother and her generation used the expression
"slow up!" I always thought that an oxymoron but in the generation
before me that was well accepted in general usage, so who was I to
object. So I never objected although I found it grating. Now, before
someone accuses me of babbling, I retire from this discussion.

In common speech, "acceleration" means an increase in speed, and
"deceleration" means a decrease in speed.

In physics, "deceleration" is not used, and "acceleration" is ambiguous,
as it could mean "3-acceleration", "proper acceleration",
"4-acceleration", or "coordinate acceleration". In context here it means
3-acceleration, a 3-vector that is the time derivative of an object's
3-velocity. Note that the acceleration 3-vector can be opposite in
direction from an object's 3-velocity, in which case it is a reduction
in the velocity.

Please, take note about how relativity ruined your connection with reality.

You can't write a post without using: 3-vector, 4-vector, "proper" whatever, manifolds, Lorentz 
boost (rotation-free transform), and similar GR jargon.

You are so detached from reality, that you can't communicate with other people no more.

Furthermore, you don't have "common speech", nor you have "erudite speech". Yours is incomprehensible unless
you talk with another relativist.

UNLESS you are showing off here, like a peacock. Maybe this is the real cause.

Like an anglophile born in Brooklyn, pretending to be British by speaking like upper class there.

Hubble was one of them. There are millions of pretenders about so many things. SAD.

There are 35 synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic expressions, and related words for pretender. You won't like any of them.

1-vector, 2-vector, n-vector....... fuck it.

Given a(t) for an object moving along x-axis, then

IF da/dt = 0, the acceleration peaked or is constant.

IF da/dt > 0, the acceleration is increasing, so the object is gaining velocity (speed). It's ACCELERATING.

IF da/dt < 0, the acceleration is decreasing, so the object is losing velocity (speed). It's DECELERATING, like in 
the re-entry of a spacecraft.

NOT losing velocity....it's called a 'change' in velosity.


Any change in velosity increasing or decreasing is
called...acceleration.

So there is an acceleration when velocity changes either in magnitude (an increase or decrease in speed) or in direction, or both.

Keep in mind that these are just 'textbooks' definitions, and are corrupted information...so they need to be taken with a grain of salt.

All 'textbooks' information are monopoly controlled and the truth and facts are whatever  they say it is the truth and facts. Has nothing to do with the truth or the facts.

Mush.


For example...I'm sure everyone here notices Google search engine is being censored, so you might have trouble finding information
'that used to be there and no longer is'. And they shorten the search results for certain topics. So you have to use Tor to see more unfiltered results.

Is there Life on Mars? Or....water? What does the 'textbooks' say?  


Ask any 10 year old the question "Is Pluto a planet?" You might be surprised by their answers...



it all depends what garbage they are reading.


Garbage in...

When you do not have a command of basic linguistic skills you should
probably avoid expressing your opinions about more advanced concepts.

One dimensional case is strictly along a single axis. Speeds, 
accelerations can be positive or negative.

Two dimensional or more: You have to deal with vectors pointing in 
directions other than strictly forward and backward. Orbits, curves and 
so forth.

If so, a(t) is acceleration, da/dt=0 is a zero "jerk", the third 
derivative of displacement.

If the acceleration (one dimensional physics definition) is already or 
has become positive, and the speed is also positive. Your "ACCELERATING" 
is the common usage of the word in this case.

No, it loses velocity only if the acceleration is negative. The 
acceleration could switch from positive to negative if da/dt < 0, or it 
could still be positive after factoring in da/dt < 0 (for positive 
speed).  Think of a car accelerating hard from a start (you floor it) 
but shortly you let off on the gas just a little, so it's still going 
faster and faster, just not as much.

That's the common usage of the word, where the speed's absolute value 
decreases. Usually thought of as a positive speed and a negative value 
of acceleration.

What of a car going in reverse and then the brakes are applied? Is the 
car accelerating, decelerating or something else?

Bzzt, fail.

decrease in acceleration is decrease in speed. So 
*decrease_in_acceleration* is deceleration. A decrease in speed 
*is_just_still_acceleration* by your own definition, just the opposite 
direction.
