Best Answer

Retardation is the application of a force that produces negative accelleration. Synonyms would be braking, decelleration, damping, etc. Gravitational force operates downward (in a negative direction) so, in most frames of reference, gravity is a retarding force.

What does retardation mean in physics?

Retardation means deceleration or the negativity to speed. It's synonyms Disintegrate, Prejudice, Destruct etc. The formula of retardation is V - U/ T where V is the final position U is the initial motion and T is the time taken by object.


Class 9 -what is the formulae for finding retardation in physics?

Retardation or deceleration is negative accelaration formula for finding retardation is same as that of accelaration: v-u/t, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken. eg- a bus is travelling at 20 m/s. Brakes are applied to stop the bus. The total time taken by the bus to stop is 2 s. Find its retardation. ans- v=0; u=20; t=2 accelaration= 0-20/2 a= -10 m's^2 retardation= 10 m/s^2 (because retardation is negative accelaration)

Pseudo-retardation would be something that resembles or looks like retardation, but actually isn't. The term literally means, fake retardation.
