When acceleration is opposite to (against) the direction of motion, the magnitude of the velocity decreases, meaning that the object slows down. An example is the application of the brakes to slow or stop a car. During the time that the pressure remains on the brake pedal, the car's acceleration is negative ... meaning opposite to the direction of motion ... and the car's speed is decreasing.

deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================
Throwing an object straight up in the air is an example of a motion in which acceleration is in the direction of motion. After the object is released, the acceleration due to gravity acts downward, which is in the same direction as the motion of the object as it goes up and then comes back down.
An example of acceleration in the direction of motion is when a car speeds up while driving on a highway. As the driver presses on the accelerator pedal, the car's velocity increases in the same direction as its motion, resulting in acceleration in the direction of travel.
If an object is moving to the right with a velocity vector of 5 m/s, and then a force is applied to the left causing the object to slow down, it experiences acceleration against the direction of motion. This acceleration would act in the left direction, opposing the object's initial motion to the right.

Acceleration can be in the opposite direction of motion, which is called deceleration. Acceleration can also be in the same direction as motion, causing an increase in speed. The direction of acceleration depends on the forces acting on the object.
When a car is moving forward and the driver suddenly applies the brakes to stop, the car's acceleration is against the direction of motion. This is because the acceleration due to braking acts in the opposite direction of the car's velocity, causing it to slow down.
hill, drop, fall Think of any five different things (car, train, runner, fly, bird) slowing down as they continue traveling forwards. The direction of motion is shown by the velocity vector. The acceleration in each case is in the opposite direction.
An example of acceleration in the direction of motion is a smooth spherical stone dropped from the roof of a building on a windless day. All the motion is straight down, toward the center of the earth, and so is the acceleration.

Freely falling body is a good example
