If a rocket engine fires the exhaust to the left the rocket will go to the right which of newton's law describes this condition?

Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Understand that it is not the exhaust that makes a rocket or reaction motor work, but the force that is applied where no resistance exists. A rocket can be compared to a balloon. The inflated balloon has pressure in all directions, and so does not move. Opening the neck means that there is no pressure at the neck end, and the pressure at the opposite side of the balloon makes it move forward.

Which term describes a machine that converts heat into work?
Heat Engine Heat Engine
What is valve overlap?
Valve overlap occurs in a four-stroke engine at the end of the Exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the Induction stroke; and is when both the exhaust and inlet valves are open at the same time. At the end of the Exhaust stroke, the Exhaust valve is closing and the Inlet valve is starting to open in preparation for the induction of fuel and air into the cylinder. It is common knowledge that in vehicles that cannot alter the valve timing, the Inlet valve opens approx 6 degrees before top-dead-centre and the Exhaust valve closes at 9 degrees after top-dead-centre
