To find:
The components of the acceleration due to gravity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity acts vertically downwards towards the center of the earth. Thus the acceleration due to gravity has only a vertical component and no horizontal component.
If we assume the upward direction to be a positive y-axis and the right is to be a positive x-axis, then the vertical component of the acceleration due to gravity will be -10 m/s².
Final answer:
Thus the x and y components of the acceleration due to gravity is
