Question

What can you say about the velocity of an object if it is moving under uniform retardation?

Answer 1

Answer:

For a uniformly retarded motion, retardation( and hence acceleration) is a non-zero constant. Since slope of velocity-time graph is equal to acceleration, it can be concluded that slope of velocity-time graph is a non-zero constant. Hence, the velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

For a uniformly retarded motion, retardation( and hence acceleration) is a non-zero constant. Since slope of velocity-time graph is equal to acceleration, it can be concluded that slope of velocity-time graph is a non-zero constant. Hence, the velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis.
