In physics, a deceleration (the slowing down of an object in motion) is considered a negative acceleration (in other words, the

opposite of speeding up). If you crash a small toy car into a wall, and the acceleration of the car is -3 m/s2, what would be the total acceleration you would have applied to the car, if you repeated the crash eleven times?

Using proportions, the total acceleration you would have applied to the car would be of -33 m/s².

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For one crash, the acceleration is of -3 m/s². Hence, for 11 crashes, the total acceleration would be of:

a = -3 x 11 = -33 m/s².
