Question

Distinguish between acceleration and retardation.

Open in App

Solution

Acceleration of a body is defined as the rate of change of its velocity with time.Velocity of the body increases with time.
i.e Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time taken for change

Retardation means negative acceleration. If the velocity of a body decreases,the acceleration is negative.
