What do you mean by the term retardation? Give 2 examples of such a motion.
Answers
Retardation actually means negative acceleration.
When the velocity of a body is decreasing with respect to time, this is called Retardation.
Or simply, you can call it out...
The rate of decrease in velocity is called Retardation.
For example :
1 . A bike stopped in the traffic jam. Here, the final velocity becomes 0 because the bike has stopped.
2. While playing football , when it is stopped , the football is said to be retarding.
