France was the third country to build and launch both its own satellite and rocket into space (Diamant rocket, Astérix satellite, November 26, 1965).

The United Kingdom was the third country to have a satellite launched into space (Ariel, April 26th, 1962), but this satellite was built and launched by the United States.

Canada was the third country to build its own satellite, but it was launched by the United State (Alouette 1 sept 29 1962).

How does a rocket launch demonstrate Newtons Rd law?

Newton's Third Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Which one of newtons laws allows a rocket to function in space?

A rocket launching into space is a classic example of Newton's Third Law. The other two apply, but it is because of Newton's Third law that a rocket can launch into space. When the rocket engines fire, large amounts of gas escapes from the nozzle at high speed. This requires signifigant force to launch these gasses. Since Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, we know that the gas pushes back up on the rocket with just as much force as the rocket pushes down on the gas. This force launches the rocket into space.It's also shows Newtons law number 1."An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."If you don't ignite the rocket motor (The unbalanced force), nothing happens.The rocket pushes into the ground at -9.81 metres per second and the Earth Pushes up at +9.81 metres per second. When you ignite the rocket this stable force becomes unbalanced by the thrust produced by the rocket motor and if the motor thrust exceeds the mass of the rocket the rocket will rise.And number 2..."Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object)."Fuel, mass and thrust falls into this category. The heavier the rocket is the more thust you need the bigger or more efficient the engine needs to be and the more fuel you will need to provide the thrust.And number three you already know about but for completeness."For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action."The rocket ejects high speed gases down, therefore the rocket goes up.

How can the achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space be explained?

newton's third law


Which of newtons laws explains the achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space?

Newton's Third Law. Equivalent to Conservation of Momentum. By Newton's Third Law, if the gas is pushed out of the rocket, the gas pushes the rocket back, in the opposite direction.


How do rockets go up into space?

By using rocket fuel. when the rocket fuel mixes with the oxygen, it blows out and pushes the rocket upward. It uses newton's third law and thrust.


What was the third space shuttle to land in space?

STS-3 was NASA's third Space Shuttle mission, and was the third mission for the Space Shuttle Columbia. It launched on 22 March 1982, and lasted eight days. STS-3 was the first shuttle launch with an unpainted external tank, and the only mission to land at the White Sands Space Harbor nearLas Cruces, New Mexico


What force sends a rocket to space?

The thrust, which is the force on the rocket due to air. When the fuels are burnt, air (including burnt fuel) is pushed downwards. From Newton's third law, the air exerts an upward force of equal magnitude on the rocket.


What kind of newtons law of motion is illustrated if the force that accelerates a rocket into outer space is exerted on the rocket by the exhaust gases?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law of motion)..


What are the major parts of a space shuttle?

Three major parts exist for the space shuttle.The two solid rocket boosters (large white rocket on each side of the space vehicle).The external tank (large orange reservoir, holds the shuttles fuel)The third part is the orbiter, the part that ressemles an airplain.
