The third law applies here. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket fuel is ignited it exerts enormous thrust directed downwards. If the rocket is not constrained to the launching pad (with very very heavy restraints) it sees no other way to nullify the enormous thrust but to set itself in motion. Soon as more fuel burns, the rocket accelerates. As a side, if the rocket was restrained with very heavy agents, these agents (in the form of nuts and bolts or whatever) will have to bear the thrust of the rocket engine.

For the non-scientist:

Consider a balloon with large pressure inside relative to small pressure outside. It doesn't move up, because there is an equal force down (inside). It doesn't move right, because there is an equal force on the left side (on the inside of the balloon). If you put a hole in the balloon (the inside gas rushes out due to the difference in pressure) there is an unbalance of forces. On one side, there is internal pressure, but on the other side there is a hole (around no pressure). So the balloon moves to the opposite side of the hole. Rockets work the same way (more or less).

The downward force of the engines pushed the ground and the ship away from eachother, thus moving the spaceship upwards.

Can you use newtons third law of motion to explain why the rocket moves upwards?

Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.the force coming out of the rocket creates thrust and thus pushes the rocket and the ground in opposite directions, the mass of the earth is so great that the rocket can not really move it, so instead the rocket shoots up away from the ground.

How does a rocket represent newtons 3rd law of motion?

The Newton's 3rd law of motion states that for every motion there is an equal but opposite reaction. This is what exactly happens when rocket takes off.


How many newtons of force does a rocket need to take off?

This depends on the weight of the rocket, weight being the mass of the rocket multiplied by earth's gravitational pull. To take off, the rocket needs to exert force larger than the weight, and for a sufficient amount of time to break out of orbit. For instance, if the rocket had a mass of 1kg, it'd exert (1 * 9.8), or 9.8 Newtons of force towards to ground via it's weight (9.8 being the acceleration towards the ground due to gravity). This means that to start to accelerate away from the ground, the rocket would need to exert force higher than 9.8 Newtons. If your hypothetical rocket has a mass of x kg, then it will need to exert a force greater than 9.8x newtons, ignoring air resistance and decaying of the gravitational field.
