### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Motion and Acceleration**: - When an object is in motion, it has a certain velocity, which is the speed of the object in a specific direction. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of the object changes over time. 2. **Identifying Opposite Directions**: - For acceleration to be opposite to the direction of motion, the acceleration vector must point in the opposite direction to the velocity vector. This means that while the object is moving forward, the acceleration is acting backward. ...
