Q: Negative acceleration is opposite to which of the following direction?
  • A. velocity
  • B. momentum
  • C. force
  • D. distance
Correct Answer: Option A - Negative acceleration is opposite to the velocity direction. When the velocity of body decreases, its acceleration is negative. Negative acceleration is called retardation ; or deal celebration When a stone is thrown upwards, it is under retardation. Similarly, when a bus approaches a bus-stop, its motion gets retarded.
