How do rockets move?

Answer 1

a rocket moves when gasses expell from the back causing the rocket to move in the opposite direction a rocket moves when gasses expell from the back causing the rocket to move in the opposite direction

Answer 2

The reason rockets work is because of Newton's Third Law, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The exhaust goes out the back (action), thus pushing the rocket forward (reaction).

Answer 3

The force of the rocket engine's hot gas in one direction (action) produces an opposing force (reaction) that propels the rocket forward.
It moves at all becuase of Newton's Second Law. When the thousands of molecules of gas flow out the nozel at bizarre speeds, the rockets moves the other direction with a moderate speed. It moves forward because it is stable. The Center of Gravity is at least one body Diameter ahead of the Center of Pressure.

Answer 4

The rocket consists of a combustion chamber in which liquid or solid is burnt. When the fuel is burnt ,the pressure inside the chamber rises very high . Due to high pressure inside the combustion chamber, the hot gases are expelled from the tail of the rocket .The expelled gases are in the form of a jet with a very high exhaust velocity. Consequently, the rocket rushes in a direction opposite to the direction of escape of gas. This causes rocket to fly and this is in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Answer 5

Rockets work on Newton's Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction or - you could say momentum is conserved. Blow up a balloon with just plain old air, hold it's end closed. Let go. What happens? The balloon flies out of your hand away from where the nozzle (the hole) is pointing. A rocket works the same way, except instead of cool air blowing out as the balloon gets smaller, it's hot air and burned fuel flying out at incredible speeds. The hotter the flames and more oxygen consumed, the faster the gases eject and the faster the rocket goes (as long as it doesn't melt the rocket...)

Answer 6

The fuel expands as it is ignited and the gases push against the rocket, giving it thrust.

Answer 7

Thrust. All you have to do is look up the definition of thrust (the physics term).

Answer 8

Action and reaction.

Answer 9

The thrust generated by the motors.
