An object is launched in the sky with a significant velocity of 100 m/sec upward. If the acceleration of gravity is down, what will happen?

The object will continue upward, but start slowing down.

The object will start going down, and speeding up.

Impossible. Acceleration and velocity must always be in the same direction.

The object will continue upward with a constant velocity, because its too fast for gravity to affect it.

The object will continue upward, and speeding up.
