They both are objects u can get chocked by
Weight = (mass) x (gravity).
It always acts downward.
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.807 m/s².
On the Moon, the acceleration of gravity is 1.623 m/s².
On Earth, the rocket's weight is (0.8kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 7.84 newtons
On the Moon, the rocket's weight is (0.8kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = 1.3 newtons
The force of the rocket engine acts upward.
Its magnitude is 12 newtons. (From the burning chemicals.
Doesn't depend on local gravity. Same force everywhere.)
Now we have all the data we need to mash together and calculate the
answers to the question. You might choose a different method, but the
machine that I have selected to do the mashing with is Newton's 2nd law
of motion:
Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
Since the question is asking for acceleration, let's first solve Newton's law
for it. Divide each side by (mass) and we have
Acceleration = (net force) / (mass) .
On Earth, the forces on the rocket are
(weight of 7.84 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) = 4.16 newtons UP (net)
Acceleration = (4.16 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 5.2 m/s² UP .
On the moon, the forces on the rocket are
(weight of 1.3 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) = 10.7 newtons UP (net)
Acceleration = (10.7 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 13.375 m/s² UP
Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the truest value while precision shows how close the measurements are to one another when repeated analysis of the same measurements are performed. Precision most likely is free from any any variation.
