What is the standard value of gg on Earth?

9.81m/s29.81 \, \text{m/s}^2

In a vacuum, how does mass affect the acceleration due to gravity?

It doesn't; all objects fall equally

Which direction does acceleration due to gravity always act?

Downward towards Earth's centre

What is the velocity at the highest point of an upward throw?

0m/s0 \, \text{m/s}

If upward is chosen as positive, what is the value of aa?

9.8m/s2-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2

What is the initial velocity uu for an object dropped from rest?

00

What is the acceleration at the maximum height of a vertically thrown object?

9.8m/s2-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2

How does total time of flight relate to time to reach max height?

Total time = 2 × time to max height

Unless specified, what should be assumed about air resistance?

Ignore it; only gravity acts

Which equation should be used when uu, aa, tt, and ss are involved?
