nO

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

No,

Acceleration and deceleration are terms which are generally considered to have opposite meaning. However, there is difference between literal and scientific meanings of these terms. In literal sense, acceleration is considered to describe an increase or positive change of speed or velocity. On the other hand, deceleration is considered to describe a decrease or negative change of speed or velocity. Both these descriptions are incorrect in physics. We need to form accurate and exact meaning of these two terms. In this module, we shall explore these terms in the context of general properties of vector and scalar quantities.
