The "retardation" is more correctly referred to as "acceleration".

Since the car is slowing down, the acceleration is negative.

Its average value is

(change in speed) divided by (time for the change) = (5 - 10)/2

= -2.5 m/sec2.

What is better to brake a motor control braking or dynamic braking?

There are three type of electrical brakes that can be applied to motors. Regenerative Plugging in Dynamic "control braking" does not mean a correct description. Dynamic braking is better.

Braking reduces speed.


How much friction is produced by brakes to stop a vehicle running at 80kmhr?

friction acting btw the road surface and wheel depends upon the braking retardation of the vehicle. every surface has its own friction coefficient which represents the maximum value , however friction can act in range from 0 to that max value , and this value depends upon the braking retardation.


What is braking and braking distances?

Braking in a moving vehicle is applying the brakes to slow or halt movement, usually by depressing a pedal. The braking distance is the distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.


What is retardation in physics?

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 braking distance mean?

Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop.


Does friction effect braking force?

Most certainly for without friction the braking system would fail no matter how much force was applied.
