Which of newtons laws explains the achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space?

Newton's Third Law. Equivalent to Conservation of Momentum. By Newton's Third Law, if the gas is pushed out of the rocket, the gas pushes the rocket back, in the opposite direction.


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.


What will happen when the force of gravity becomes greater than the other forces acting on a rocket?

It would obviously fall to the ground. However, if you have a rocket which can't overcome gravity, you've got a pretty bad rocket...


How does the first and third law of motion apply to a rocket launching?

1st. The rocket sets still until a force, burning fuel, causes a change in motion. 2nd. F=ma The force of the burning fuel causes an acceleration of the rocket. 3rd. Action/reaction. The action of hot burning gases leaving the rocket causes a reaction, which is the motion of the rocket in the opposite direction. Note: The exhaust does not need to hit the ground to cause the reaction. A rocket engine ignited in outer space will cause a change in the motion of the rocket.


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.

Why does a rocket need to fight gravity?

In general, it doesn't. That's only necessary if the rocket wants to get off of the ground.

How does firing gas from a rocket backward accelerate the rocket forward?

Well, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so when the gas pushes against the ground, the ground "pushes" back, forcing the rocket upwards.
