Vedclass · Answer

(A) Retardation is defined as the negative acceleration,which means the acceleration vector is directed opposite to the velocity vector. This causes a decrease in the magnitude of velocity (speed) over time. The $Assertion$ is correct because retardation,by definition,acts in the direction opposite to the velocity to reduce it. The $Reason$ is also correct because retardation is indeed the time rate of decrease of speed. Since the decrease in speed is caused by the acceleration acting opposite to the velocity,the $Reason$ correctly explains why retardation is defined as it is in the $Assertion$.

$t (s)$	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$
$x (m)$	$-2$	$0$	$6$	$16$

$Assertion$ : Retardation is directly opposite to the velocity.
$Reason$ : Retardation is equal to the time rate of decrease of speed.
