hidastuvuus
Hidastuvuus is a Finnish term that translates to deceleration or slowing down. In physics, it refers to the phenomenon where an object's velocity decreases over time. This can be caused by various forces acting in the opposite direction of motion, such as friction, air resistance, or braking. When an object decelerates, it experiences a negative acceleration.
The concept of hidastuvuus is fundamental to understanding motion and its changes. For example, a car decelerates
In engineering and design, understanding and controlling hidastuvuus is crucial. Engineers consider deceleration rates when designing
