Write the difference between acceleration and retardation.
The difference between acceleration and retardation
Acceleration | Retardation |
Acceleration is known as the increment in velocity of a body per unit of time | Retardation is just the reverse of acceleration or the decrement of velocity per unit of time. |
Acceleration can be positive(+),zero | Negative acceleration is known as deceleration or retardation. |
Example: At pressing the accelerator, the speed of the vehicle increases. Hence the vehicle will accelerate. | Example: When we apply brakes, the speed of the vehicle will reduce, and the vehicle will have retardation |
