What is the acceleration on a projectile as it comes down?
The acceleration on a projectile as it comes down is approximately equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of Earth. This acceleration acts in the downward direction and causes the projectile to increase in velocity as it falls towards the ground.
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile if the vertical component of its velocity vector is zero?
The vertical component of a projectile's velocity is irrelevant. It can be up, down, or zero, makes no difference. As long as projectile motion lasts ... gravity is the only force on the object and you're ignoring air resistance ... its acceleration is constant, and is equal to the acceleration of gravity: 9.8 meters per second2 pointing down.
Projectile's vertical velocity component changes at a constant?
The vertical velocity component of a projectile changes at a constant rate due to the acceleration of gravity. This acceleration causes the projectile to speed up as it moves downward and slow down as it moves upward. The magnitude of the acceleration is constant near the Earth's surface, at approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
A cricket ball is projected vertically upward what kind of acceleration is acting on the ball?
When a cricket ball is projected vertically upward, the acceleration acting on the ball is gravitational acceleration directed downward. This causes the ball to slow down until it reaches the highest point of its trajectory, then it accelerates back downward due to gravity.
What type of Motion is Vertically Motion of a projectile?
I'm not sure of any specific name for "vertical motion" other than falling or acceleration and deceleration due to gravity. You will have the force of gravity. You may also have an element of a centripetal force, but for all practical purposes this would be minimal near the surface of the earth.

Could a bullet be fired from one rifle down the barrle of another?
It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.

How do you find the launch velocity of a projectile that was fired straight up and came back down to the level it was launched at in 1.37 seconds?
the velocity at the start is the same as when it comes back down to the level. At the top velocity is zero and at the bottom the velocity is acceleration x time where time is 1.37/2 = 0.685s. Acceleration is that of gravity or 9.8 m/s/s, so projectile velocity is 9.8 x .685 = 6.7 m/s; in US system that is 22 ft/sec or 15 mph

Is the acceleration of a projectile equal to zero when it reaches the top of its trajectory?
No, assuming no air resistance, there will be a constant downward acceleration of 9.8 meters per second square (assuming standard gravity). The vertical component of the velocity will be zero at the top of the trajectory.
Does the acceleration of the object change while it is in flight?
Since the velocity of an object is composed of its speed and its direction, then an object under the influence of Earth's gravity will always be changing velocity. If it is near the surface, its speed is slowing down if it is moving vertically up, or speeding up if it is moving vertically down. If it is moving horizontally, its speed is slowing because of air friction. But even when it is in a circular orbit and its speed is not changing, the direction in which it is moving is constantly changing. so its velocity is constantly changing. Since we have no information on what the flight is, there is no useful answer.
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Yes, the acceleration due to gravity always points vertically downward, regardless of the direction of an object's velocity. This is because gravity is a force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth.
Can you give 5 examples in which acceleration is against the direction of motion?
hill, drop, fall Think of any five different things (car, train, runner, fly, bird) slowing down as they continue traveling forwards. The direction of motion is shown by the velocity vector. The acceleration in each case is in the opposite direction.
What pulls down a projectile motion?
Gravity would be pulling down on a projectile object.
