Answer:
The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.
Explanation:
Let's say we have a velocity .
The acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity
. This means that if
is <em>increasing during</em> time, then
must be positive. But if
is <em>decreasing over</em> time, then
will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).
Mathematically:
decreases ⇒
