Is acceleration due to gravity always negative? |
| Answer» No<br>No, it depends upon how we apply Sign conventions in the situation. If we take downwards as -ve and upwards as +ve, then g becomes -ve and when we take downwards as +ve and upwards as -ve, then g would be positive.<br>Yes it would be because acceleration due Gravity is always downwards in -ve y axis<br>Towards the center of the Earth, the gravity is defined to the be negative. At all points on the trajectory of a projectile, the gravitational acceleration points in the same direction, which is downwards toward the center of the Earth. So, the sign for the gravitational acceleration is always negative. | |
