How can you tell if an object is decelerating?
If the velocity is decreasing, the object is decelerating.
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating.?
It means the object is decelerating - slowing down rather than speeding up. You can think of it as negative acceleration.
How do unbalanced forces differ from balanced forces?
An object with no force on it will either be at rest or moving with a steady velocity, an object with an unbalanced force, which is the same as saying it has a net force on it, will be accelerating (or decelerating)
Meaning of decelerating?
Decelerating means to slow down. It means that an object is moving at an increasingly slower speed.
What happens when you have unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.

When an object slow down it is . till it stops?
decelerating
Is there a velocity to the eastern direction to an object which is having a acceleration to the west?
Yes, if it is already moving East but decelerating i.e. accelerating to the west. The other condition when there is velocity to the east while accelerating to the west is when it is moving at an angle to the East-West line.
A graph showing zero slope for the position vs time always indicates that the object is not moving?
If the speed/time graph slops negatively, that's an indication that the speed is decreasing, i.e. the object is slowing down. The negative slop is also called negative acceleration, since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'

Can velocity be 0 but speed not 0?
Speed and Velocity are two words that mean the same. You may mean, "Can Velocity be 0 but acceleration not 0". Yes, this occurs when a moving object is changing direction (say from moving forwards to moving backwards) or is just about to move or, at that very instant has just come to a halt. In all these cases, speed /velocity is zero but the body is accelerating. Don't forget, the word acceleration is also used when an object is decelerating (slowing down).
What is instantaneous velocity in math?
if under uniform acceleration or deceleration v = u + (a*t) where: v = instantaneous velocity u = initial velocity a = acceleration (negative if decelerating) t = time elapsed
What is the velocity of a object?
the velocity of an object is its speed and direction
