This extension applies that lens specifically to Vertical Projectile Motion.

Vertical Projectile Motion

Ignoring air resistance, a projectile near Earth has constant downward acceleration g. At the highest point velocity is zero but acceleration is still downward.

Core checkpoint: Choose upward or downward as positive and use that sign convention consistently.
