Hi,
My Guide for Physics says that negative acceleration is when the velocity increases in the negative direction and decreases in the positive direction (also known as deceleration).
However, my physics professor once told us that negative acceleration and deceleration are 2 different things...
whats the correct definition for both of 'em?
