When speed is decreasing, velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.

Answer:

When speed reduces, acceleration decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

From first equation of motion;


{ \tt{v = u + at}}

When time is constant:


{ \tt{v = 0 + kt}} \\ { \tt{v = kt}} \\{ \tt{v \: \alpha \: \: a}}
