The normal force, exerted by a surface in contact with an object, always acts perpendicular to the surface and in the direction opposite to gravity to keep the object from falling through the surface.
The force of gravity is always in the same direction ... toward the center of mass of the other mass that's involved ... whether or not the body is in motion, regardless of what direction it may be moving, and regardless of whether or not you throw up.
The force of gravity acts towards the center of mass of the object in question.
To calculate the net force when two forces are acting in opposite directions, subtract the smaller force from the larger force. The direction of the net force will be in the direction of the larger force.
It's a vector, and I believe it always points upward.
The force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion of an object is friction. Friction is a force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, slowing down or stopping the object.

From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.
The force of gravity acts towards the center of mass of the object in question.
Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.
To calculate the net force when two forces are acting in opposite directions, subtract the smaller force from the larger force. The direction of the net force will be in the direction of the larger force.

that's the "normal force"
The force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion of an object is friction. Friction is a force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, slowing down or stopping the object.
The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.
Friction
The force that acts in the opposite direction of lift is weight, which is the force exerted by gravity pulling the object downward. It acts vertically downward from the center of mass of the object.
No, upthrust is not a vector. It is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on an object. It is a scalar quantity and only has a magnitude, not a direction.
