Oh, dude, so like, when something is slowing down, it's actually experiencing negative acceleration. It's like the opposite of when you speed up, you know? So, they call it retardation because it's like saying, "Hey, slow down, negative acceleration coming through!" It's just a fancy way of saying things are getting slower, man.

retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
