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 -4 m/s2, what would be the total acceleration you would have applied to the car, if you repeated the crash eleven times?
