\[9.8 \text{ m/s}^2\]
Explanation:
In projectile motion, the only acceleration acting on the object in the vertical (\(y\)) direction is due to gravity, which has a constant magnitude of \(9.8 \text{ m/s}^2\) directed downward. This acceleration remains constant throughout the object’s flight, regardless of its initial velocity.
