Best Answer

linear momentum.

A rocket works by expelling gases from one end at a very high velocity. The escaping gases have a very high speed and this with their mass translates to a very large momentum. Due to the principle of conservation of momentum the body of the rocket is pushed forward. If both the momentum of the gases as well as that of the rocket are added the sum is zero.

Define the conservation of momentum?

the principle that the total linear momentum in a closed system is constant and is not affected by processes occurring inside the system.


How does a rocket work with refrence to Newton's laws of motion?

It works quite well. Here's how. 1. The rocket won't move until the engines are fired. That's the law of inertia. It's at rest, and it remains at rest until it's acted upon by an outside force. The opposite is true, too. If a body is in motion, it wants to remain in motion unless it's acted on by an outside force. 2. When the rocket motors are fired, the rocket takes off. It accelerates, and that's the law of acceleration. Force = mass x acceleration. The more mass it has for a given thrust, the less acceleration it has. The more thrust it has for a given mass, the more it accelerates. 3. The rocket motors inject hydrogen and oxygen (typical NASA "big rocket" fuel) into the throat of the motor where it burns quickly and hotly. Superheated combusted gas is rushing out the exhaust nozzle with tremendous force, and an opposite force is generated. That opposite force causes the rocket to be accelerated up (since the nozzles are pointed down). For each reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction, Newton's third law. Need a link? You got one to our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.

in science refers to the amount of some quantity before and after an event.


What is a water bottle rocket's reaction to newton's laws?

Pressure is the force that launches the bottle rocket once it has launched this pressure starts to dissipate until no other force is driving the rocket to overcome gravity, therefore gravity is now the only force acting on the object and as such the bottle falls back to earth

Hess's law is based on what principle?

Hess's law is based on the principle that the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the pathway taken. This means that the overall enthalpy change for a reaction is the same, regardless of the number of steps involved in the reaction as long as the initial and final conditions are the same.
