प्रश्न
Distinguish between acceleration and retardation.
उत्तर
Acceleration is the increase in velocity per second, while retardation is the decrease in velocity per second. Thus, retardation is negative acceleration. In general, acceleration is taken positive, while retardation is taken negative.

A bus can accelerate with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 . Find the minimum time for the bus to attain the speed of 100 km/s from 50 km /s.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
Assertion: Position-time graph of a stationary object is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
Reason: For a stationary object, the position does not change with time.
