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.

Nope, too much power, will blow the engine. the text above is retarded how can changing the engine blow the engine if a 70cc engine will fit it will work what he's saying is that the rear sprocket is to small. You would have to get a bigger sprocket so the engine won't run at high RPM's when you take off. With the bigger sprocket, the engine will have to work a little more to get the wheel to turn.

What does the fire retardant wadding in a model rocket protect?

It generally protects the recovery system. If you sit a parachute or streamer on top of a hot engine, it's going to melt or burn up (depending on the material). The wadding is placed between the engine and the recovery system so your rocket will work like it's supposed to and you'll be able to reuse it. You have to be careful how tightly you put in the wadding, though, since you don't want it to stifle your engine.
