The answer to this is false. There are a lot of people who have the tendency to become confused when they do not know the equation that is in front of them or when they do not know what to do with the given numbers.

For this particular situation, the vertical projectile is different from the acceleration of gravity. It is important to know as many details about it because you may end up solving items that will not give accurate results. You can check out the illustration if you want to make your answers clearer.
