Gravity's Deceleration and Acceleration Equality

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

The deceleration due to gravity going up is the same as the acceleration due to gravity coming down. Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer:

True.

The deceleration due to gravity when an object is moving upward is equal in magnitude to the acceleration due to gravity when the object is falling downward. In both cases, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately (9.81 , \text{m/s}^2) near the Earth's surface. The direction of the acceleration is what differs: it acts downward when an object is falling and acts upward (as a deceleration) when an object is moving
