A water rocket has a mass of 0.8kg and is launched in a school playground with an inital upwards force of 12newtons. what is the

weight of the rocket in the playground?
What is the inital acceleration of the rocket in the playground?
If this water rocket could were launched from the moon what would be its initial acceleration (rember to find the new weight first)

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

Autorhythmic cells can generate action potentials spontaneously because they have Autorhythmic cells can generate action potenti
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

They can generate potentials spontaneously because they have Unstable Membrane Potentials.

Explanation:

Autorythmic cells or Pacemaker cells are cells that provide Action potentials (electrical impulses) that starts off the cardiac cycle.

N:B This action potential is created spontaneously.

To explain further, the heart originate in specialized cardiac muscle cells, called autorhythmic cells, that can excite themselves and therefore are able to generate an action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. And this sets the cardiac cycle i

(Pumping of the heart) into motion. (The pace maker potential)

The Autorhythmic cells create an action potential spontaneously

And this is possible because they have an UNSTABLE RESTING POTENTIAL that is continuously depolarizing, while it drifts slowly toward threshold. As Na+ ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes less negative gradually, thus generating the pacemaker potential.

Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric f
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

E_1_x = 0V/m\\E_1_y=100V/m

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

E_2_x= 150V/m*-sin(45) = 106.07 V/m\\E_2_y=150V/m*cos(45) = 106.07V/m

∑x: E_1_x+E_2_x = 0V/m - 106.07V/m = -106.07V/m

∑y: E_1_y + E_2_y = 100V/m + 106.07V/m = 206.07V/m

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

||E_r||= \sqrt{(-106.07V/m)^2+(206.07V/m)^2} = 231.76 V/m\\\\\alpha = arctan(\frac{206.7 V/m}{-106.07 V/m}) = 117.24degrees

or 27.23° to the left of E1.
