If you define the "up" direction as "positive", then the acceleration is negative, because it is downward. If you define "down" as positive, then acceleration is negative. You can use any convention; just be sure to be consistent within a particular calculation, to avoid errors.
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
g. lower case.
Free fall is defined as ''the motion of an object undergoing an acceleration of g'' As we know acceleration is a vector quantity and 'g' acts vertically downwards. Also, the only force acting on an object in free fall is its weight and weights acts downwards.
It can be used to measure g's [ the acceleration due to gravity and it can be used also to prove that the Earth spins.
If you mean the gravitatioal field - other options are possible - units of acceleration are used for that. The force of gravity, of course, is expressed in units of force.

The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
Acceleration of rotating objects
"Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces.
Deceleration is often referred to negative acceleration because deceleration is not AA commonly used word.
positive x positive = positive negative x negative = positive positive x negative = negative negative x positive = negative The same rules apply for dividing, since dividing is actually multiplying by the reciprical.
g. lower case.
Positive, because the negative terminal is usually used as the ground plane.
The simple pendulum can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity.

Archimedes principle - weight of the liquid displaced by the object= buoyant force weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity =volume x density x acceleration due to gravity
