Write any three difference between acceleration and retardation?

Any three differences between acceleration and retardation are:

Acceleration Retardation
Acceleration is defined as the positive rate of change of velocity. Retardation is defined as the negative rate of change of velocity.
Due to acceleration, the velocity of a body increases. Due to retardation, the velocity of a body decreases.
For example, when we bring a car into motion with increasing speed in a straight path, it is accelerating. For example, when we apply brakes to stop a moving car so that it comes to rest, it is decelerating.
