Hello!
When the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, this is deceleration
<h2>
Why?</h2>
Acceleration is defined as the physical magnitude that measures the change in velocity with time. The units to express acceleration are speed over time.
The equation for acceleration is: 
Where: a=acceleration, v=final velocity, vo=initial velocity, t=final time, to=initial time.
If the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, then the acceleration is negative, and that is called deceleration. An example of this is when a car brakes.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
- 1 is the correct option
Explanation:
In determining the oxidation state or formal charge on element in an ionic specie, the whole ion need to be equated to the value of charge on the ion.
For example in this case, the charge on the ion is -3. Thus; representing iodine with X and putting -2 for the oxidation state of O (oxygen)
X + -2 = -3 (adding 2 to both side)
X = -3 + 2
X = - 1
