Does the action force in a rocket engine act on the hot gases or on the rocket?
Both. The rocket is forced in one direction and the hot gasses are forced in the opposite direction.
When a rocket rises what is the reaction force?
A rocket in space operates off the expelled mass, from the conservation of momentum, dmv/dt = mdV/dt + Vdm/dt =0, The rocket is acceleration is mdV/dt = -Vdm/dt. The exhaust is Vdm/dt which is the force pushing the rocket forward as the exhaust goes out.
What is the force that accelerates a rocket called?
The combustion of rocket fuel ejects a mass of material at high velocity. In accordance with Newton's third law, the momentum of the ejecta generates an equal and opposite reaction - which propels the rocket forward.
What is the name of the force that pushes a rocket upwards?
thrust
Why does a rocket accelerate upwards?
A rocket accellerates in whatever direction it's pointed. Another way to put this is to say that a rocket accelerates in the opposite direction of its engine exhaust. See Newton's 2nd law of motion.
As the rocket is moving through the Earths atmosphere another force acts against the thrust from the shuttles engines. What is this force called?
Reaction force that is equal and opposite to thrust force from the rocket's engine.
What is the forward force produced in a rocket engine?
Thrust

The reaction force that propels a rocket forward is called?
Thrust ... [ :
What is the thrust of a Saturn V rocket engine?
7,648,000 pounds-force (34,020,000 N)
The forward force from a plane's engine is called?
The forward force from a plane's engine is called THRUST.
Is a heating vent convection?
Hi, Only if there is no propulsive force such as a fan pushing the air. If the force is gravity then yes, it would be convective.
How do astronauts leave the earth?
astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.
How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lift 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

When a rocket rises what is the reaction force?
A rocket in space operates off the expelled mass, from the conservation of momentum, dmv/dt = mdV/dt + Vdm/dt =0, The rocket is acceleration is mdV/dt = -Vdm/dt. The exhaust is Vdm/dt which is the force pushing the rocket forward as the exhaust goes out.
How do spacecraft takeoff?
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
