👉 In physics, a deceleration is an acceleration that occurs when an object slows down or stops. It can be thought of as a change in velocity over time. The rate at which something decreases its velocity is known as deceleration. It can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Deceleration} = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \] Where: - \( \Delta v \) is the final velocity (speed) - \( \Delta t \
