i'm curious, if there are one or not.
 
If you mean the formula for force acting on an object, it is F=MA, m being mass, and a being acceleration. And for the matter of deceleration, it is simply acceleration in the opposite direction of initial trajectory. Deceleration can be measured by the (length/time^2) decrease in the acceleration. With a constant mass, and a decreasing acceleration, the force is going to be different at any given moment.

what the formula for something moving constant?
 
If the object has no acceleration, then the net force acting upon the object should be zero. If there is a specific situation you are talking about, I could probably figure it out, if not, then I guess that's it.
