What is the value of gravity in free-fall and two-dimensional kinematics?

[Below]

Homework Statement

I have just a question to clarify. When an object is in free-fall the gravity is always + 9.81 m/s^2? and also when it is talking about two dimension kinematics gravity is working on an object thrown in the air it is -9.81 m/s^2?

Yes, when the object is in freefall on Earth, gravity = a = 9.8m/s^2 down. Signs are optional but you could say -9.8n/s^s.
In 2D, the gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 down on the object.

It doesn't matter how the object is moving or thrown, gravity is always down.
