Best Answer

The gravitational force on an object near the surface of the earth, and the object's

acceleration due to gravity, are always directed downward (toward the center of

the earth), regardless of how the object happens to be moving at the moment.

Whether 'downward' is called 'positive' or 'negative' is completely up to you,

and depends only on how you have defined the coordinate directions for your

experiment or observation.
