How does a rocket propel?
The gases in the fuel chamber of the rocket combust and push on the inside of the rocket, propeling it forward or upward. This is because in space there is nothing for a rocket to push of off, except itself.
What happens to the gases when the rocket takes off?
Gas is thrusted downward out of the rocket, which in turn (because of Newton's third law) pushes the rocket upward. The gas, which has already combusted, mixes with the air
As a rocket travels upward from earth air resistance decreases along with gravity the rocket's mass also decreases as its fuel is used up if thrust remains the same how do these factors affect the r?
well according to newtons law the apple in the pie has fell down but went up in a triangular motion indicating that when the rocket remains constant the acceleration goes slower by oppisite forces
What force sends a rocket to space?
The thrust, which is the force on the rocket due to air. When the fuels are burnt, air (including burnt fuel) is pushed downwards. From Newton's third law, the air exerts an upward force of equal magnitude on the rocket.
What effect does the wind have on the way you launch the rocket?
The wind negatively affects the rocket. This is because the air resistance, as the rocket goes up, increases rapidly and slows down the rocket.
How just rocket goes upward?
Upon expulsion of various gases it is propelled upwards by the force of gravity. Under the laws of gravity, objects that push an object away (the rocket expelling gases) will be pushed on by that object (the gas pushes the rocket up).
How does a rocket leave the moon?
By flying in a relatively "upward" direction.

How does newton's 3rd law apply to a rocket on take off?
The force of the thrusters pushes the rocket upward, beating the force of gravity.
How do rockets go up into space?
By using rocket fuel. when the rocket fuel mixes with the oxygen, it blows out and pushes the rocket upward. It uses newton's third law and thrust.
How does a rocket achieve maximum flight?
A rocket (firework) achieves maximum height once the fuel plus upward thrust runs out. Then gravity takes over and the rocket falls back to the ground.
What happens to the gases when the rocket takes off?
Gas is thrusted downward out of the rocket, which in turn (because of Newton's third law) pushes the rocket upward. The gas, which has already combusted, mixes with the air
When a rocket lifts off the ground the net force is in upward direction. Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity.?
Greater
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

What nicknames does Polly Jane Rocket Adams go by?
Polly Jane Rocket Adams goes by Rocket.
What force from expansion of gases pushes rockets forward?
Thermal expansion of the combusting gases in the rocket nozzles (bottom of the rocket) pushes them against the outside air, and the equal-and-opposite reaction is to push the rocket upward.
