A basketball player throws a basketball into the air and watches as it undergoes projectile motion. What can we say about the acceleration of the ball while it is in the air? The acceleration is zero in every direction. The acceleration is zero in the x-direction and -9.8 m/s? in the y-direction. O The acceleration is -9.8 m/s2 in every direction. O The acceleration is -9.8 m/s2 in the x-direction and 0 in the y-direction.
