Rebecca Downs · Answer 1

g

Explanation:

if an object is thrown upward or at any angle, the acceleration acting on that object is the same as acceleration due to gravity which always acts towards the vertically downwards direction because there is no acceleration or the force acting on the object in horizontal direction.

Thus, the acceleration is same as acceleration due to gravity g.
