The acceleration
a experienced by the particle,
once it has been launched vertically upward,
has been described in a previous page,
where we came to the conclusion that it is given by
We found that the particle has no acceleration
in the horizontal x direction
(ax = 0),
whereas its acceleration in the vertical y
direction is given by gravity
(ay = -g)
and is independent of the mass m
of the particle.
