* Uniform Acceleration: This means the acceleration is constant. The body's velocity changes by the same amount in each equal time interval.
* Negative Acceleration: This means the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the body's velocity. This results in the body slowing down.
Examples:
* A car braking to a stop: The car has a negative acceleration because it's slowing down. The acceleration is uniform if the car brakes at a constant rate.
* A ball thrown vertically upwards: After the ball leaves your hand, gravity acts on it, causing a downward acceleration. This acceleration is negative with respect to the ball's upward velocity, causing the ball to slow down until it reaches its highest point.
Important Note:
Negative acceleration doesn't necessarily mean the body is moving in the negative direction. It simply means the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the velocity.
