When a retarding force is applied opposite to the direction of motion, the angle between the force and displacement is 180 degrees, resulting in negative work done.
What happens when a retarding force is applied in the opposite direction to the motion of an object?

When a retarding force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object, it slows down or opposes the object’s motion, leading to a decrease in its kinetic energy and potentially bringing it to a stop.
