You launch a model rocket up into the sky. Right after launch the rocket is accelerating upwards at 10m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the net force in Newtons on the rocket if the rocket has a mass of 0.1 kg?

I am going to let gravity be 9.8m/s squared.

I think force = 0.1 * (19.8) N = 1.98N

(I am not 100% sure)

If x=gh what is h+gx(945+231)gx=h

This is a weird question.
h+gx(945+231)gx=h
subtract h from both sides and you get
gx(945+231)gx=0

rearrange
gxgx*1176 = 0

divide both sides by 1176

ggxx = 0
either g=0 or x=0 or they both equal 0

But x=gh
so if g=0 then x=0
but if x=0 either g=0 or h=0 or g and h both =0
