Which of the following decreases, in motion on a straight line, with constant retardation?

  1. A Speed
  2. B Acceleration
  3. C Displacement
  4. D Distance
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Speed

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the equation of uniform motion v=u+at Here, v is final speed, u is initial speed and a is the acceleration for time t. Now, there is constant retardation in motion,i.e., acceleration=-a Therefore, v=u+-atv=u-at∴v<u Hence, the speed of the body will…
