Question

If an object is thrown in upward direction, then the gravitational acceleration is positive.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Gravitational Acceleration: A gravitational force is experienced by any object in the earth's field of view. The item receives an acceleration due to the force of gravity operating on it, which is known as acceleration due to gravity. Its unit is $m/s^2$ and it is denoted by the letter '$g$'.
2. Gravitational acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has a magnitude as well as a direction.
3. As when the object is thrown vertically upward, the distance is measured positively in the upward direction and the acceleration due to gravity in the downward direction is taken as negative.

Hence, the given statement is false.
