Assertion: acceleration's direction | /r/HasProperty | opposite
Facets:
value: to the direction
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: The crucial distinction was that the acceleration was in the opposite direction from the velocity.
text: The direction of negative acceleration is opposite to the direction in which the body is moving.
text: One effect is that the Sun creates a tidal friction in the planet, which decreases its spinning angular momentum and hence also increases its orbital angular momentum around the Sun, hence increasing its distance and reducing its angular velocity (assuming the orbital angular velocity of the Sun is smaller than that of the planet spinning; otherwise directions of change are opposite).
text: Such forces result in the operational sensation of weight, but the equation carries a sign change due to the definition of positive weight in the direction downward, so the direction of weight-force is opposite to the direction of g-force acceleration:
text: If the velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions (they have opposite signs), the object is slowing down.
