AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the choice of direction for the acceleration due to gravity, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Direction of Gravity**: - The acceleration due to gravity (g) always acts downward towards the center of the Earth. In a Cartesian coordinate system, this direction is typically represented as the negative y-direction. 2. **Choosing the Positive Direction**: ...
