Question
What is the acceleration of a body when it is projected vertically upwards?
Step 1
In this case, the body is projected vertically upwards, so the initial velocity (u) is known to be positive. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is also known to be -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it acts downwards). Show more…
