Rocket emits particles backward with great force. This means that there is also a force in the other direction, which pushes the rocket forward. Also apparent from conservation of momentum.

How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lifts off?

As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.-information from Prentice Hall, Science Explorer: Physical Science


Why do rockets go up?

Rockets go up because of Newton's Third Law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Essentially, as the rocket pushes down on the rocket exhaust, the exhaust pushes back on the rocket with the same amount of force, in the opposite direction. This force is what lifts up the rocket.

A rocket lifts off by pushing down on the ground which then pushes the rocket up?

The propellant


Rocket operates on the principle?

Yes, by propelling the fuels/gases stored within the rocket out the end, a force is created which lifts the rocket up, think of a drone, the propellers spin which pushes air down which pushes the drone itself of the ground. Its pretty simple if you pay attention and do research.


What do you mean by action and reaction with example?

Consider a bird flapping its wings. As it flaps down it's careful to press against the air; this is the action. The reaction is that the air lifts the bird higher. (Of course the bird is careful to angle its wing so that it does not press upward against the air as it comes up.)


Can the smoke from a model rocket kill you?

Probably not, but I wouldn't recommend standing too close to the rocket as it lifts off. The fumes from the rocket's engine definitely aren't very good for your lungs.
