vertical acceleration

Vertical acceleration refers to the change in speed or rate of elevation along the vertical axis, such as upward or downward movement. For example, when a plane takes off, it accelerates upward, increasing its vertical acceleration. Similarly, when a roller coaster drops down a hill, it experiences vertical acceleration due to gravity pulling it downward. This concept is important in engineering and physics because it helps describe how objects move vertically and the forces acting on them during acceleration or deceleration in the vertical direction.
