Is retardation positive or negative acceleration?

Retardation or deceleration is negative acceleration. It is opposite to the direction of velocity.


When an object slows it has what acceleration?

Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.

Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.


How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?

Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.


If acceleration is 8 what is value of retardation?

Zero


Why is retardation called negative acceleration?

retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.


An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?

No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation or deceleration..

Why not all motion the same?

Due to path in which it is made. Due to acceleration, retardation


Is retardation the opposite to accelaration?

I think the most accurate antonym for acceleration is deceleration.


Which is also called as retardation or deceleration?

Deceleration is a special case of what physicists call "acceleration" - a rate of change of velocity.


How do you find retardation if speed of a bus and its stopping time interval is given?

Reteradation will be half of acceleration
