The rocket's propellant shoots out of one of its ends. Newton said that every action (like rocket propellant shooting out) is accompanied by an equal (same force) but opposite re-action.
So, if the propellant shoots out with a force of, say, 1,000 pounds, then the rocket is pushed in the opposite direction (forward, we hope) by 1,000 pounds.
It works! Try standing on one tiptoe while holding a weight of 5 or 10 pounds out to your side. Move the weight quickly sideways across your body and you will find your body moving (twisting because of that toe on the floor) in the opposite direction.

∙ 14y agoNewton's third Law:
''To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions''.
The force of a rocket's engine must be able to overcome the force of Earth's gravity applied to the rocket's mass. So, the engine must exert a force at least equal to the force of gravity and in the opposite direction of the force of gravity before any upward movement can occur.

∙ 15y agoThe third law, for every action there is an opposite and equal re-action applies because the action is the water coming out the bottom and the re-action is the rocket going up.

∙ 13y agoI hope you're doing this for homework. It is that the speed of the rocket may change the direction is flies in, no matter which way it is pointed at the start :)
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoit apply becuse the water in the rocket has air pressering going in to it when it lating it has gravity

How does newtons third law apply to rockets?
The third law, for every action there is an opposite and equal re-action applies because the action is the water coming out the bottom and the re-action is the rocket going up.
How does Newton's Law of Motion apply to rockets?
Newton's third law of motion. The combusted gas is pushed out from the rocket. This is the action. The reaction pushes the rocket upwards.
Suppose a book weighs 35 newtons and you apply a force of 50 newtons to lift what is the net force acting on the book?
85 newtons, up . =================== Nope. The force of gravity is 35 newtons, directed down. The force of your mighty out-stretched arm is 50 newtons, directed up. The net force on the book is 15 newtons directed up, so that's the direction in which the book accelerates. (At 15/35 = 3/7 of a 'G' .) Exactly the same analysis as you'd apply to a rocket launch.

Klein Bottle for sale. Apply within.
How do you accelerate an object in a vacuum?
Apply a force (rockets, recoil, gravity, etc.)
How does newtons third law apply to rockets?
The third law, for every action there is an opposite and equal re-action applies because the action is the water coming out the bottom and the re-action is the rocket going up.
Does newtons third law apply to baseball?
Yes.
Does newtons third law apply to soccer?
Newton's Third Law applies everywhere.
How does newtons second law apply to rockets?
Well newtons second law is f=ma of force=mass*acceleration, so when creating rockets, scientists must take into account all three of these factors. The mass or weight will determine how much friction it generates and therefor the amount of acceleration needed to surpass the friction. So newtons second law has everything to do with rockets.
How does Newtons third law apply to Croquet?
because he was a different man and when he say smething that's always right
Does newtons third law apply to propeller?
Yes, it does. They use Newton's third law, because a propeller pulls or pushes you forward by moving a mass of air or water behind you away from the direction of acceleration.
How does Newton's Law of Motion apply to rockets?
Newton's third law of motion. The combusted gas is pushed out from the rocket. This is the action. The reaction pushes the rocket upwards.
How do Newtons Laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal?
Yes
How much newtons of force does an elephant apply when it steps?
5
Do Newtons laws apply to rotational motion?
Yes sir! The complex planetary orbits were correctly figured out due to Newtons Laws.
Does newtons law of cooling apply to warming as well as to cooling?
Yes.
How does newtons second law apply to billiards?
Yes. Newtons three laws of physics apply to everything in our universe. Only when you study molecular structure and the early formation of the universe do you have to use Einstein's Theories.
