An object is thrown vertically downward. What is the acceleration experienced by the object?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that when the object falls towards the Earth, it experiences acceleration due to gravity `g=9.8ms^(-2)` downward. We can choose the coordinate system as shown in Ground the figure.
The acceleration is along the negative y direction
`veca=g(-hatj)=-ghatj`
