Expert Solution
Step 1: part (d):

 

“Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve three sub-parts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.”.

 

The negative value of acceleration suggests that the object's acceleration is in the opposite direction in the coordinate system that is chosen in the corresponding time interval.

It may be deceleration means the object is slowing down or not.
