How can a rocket move through outer space where no matter exists for it to push on?
The conservation of momentum is such that, when a rocket throws fuel and gas out of its thrusters, in order to maintain equilibrium, the rocket moves forwards to counter the motion backwards of the propellant.
What celestial object moves backwards among stars?
planets
What do astronauts do with their poop?
There is a tank in the shuttle where waste is carried. This is just like RVs when you go, the waste moves into a tank.
Describe the functions of the canadarm?
. Unfortunately, I don't know ALL the functions but I do know one main function. The canadarm's function assists astronauts as they work and moves equipment around the station. :)
Explain how a rocket can move through outer space where there is no matter for it to push on?
It's kinda Newton's third law. There's nothing to push against, but the conservation of momentum is such that, when a rocket throws fuel and gas out of its thrusters, in order to maintain equilibrium, the rocket moves forwards to counter the motion backwards of the propellant. I tried to make that as simple as possible, but it sounds jumbled. Lol k, here's an example: Stand in a supermarket trolley with things in it, and start throwing the contents of the trolley out behind you. You'll start moving forwards, so that the total momentum of the trolley and it's contents stays the same. That's pretty much a fundamental law of physics. So, a 200kg (for example) rocket throws 1kg of fuel/gas out at a speed of 20m/s. The rocket will start moving so to counter that 20 N/s momentum of the fuel: the rocket will move so that it has 20N/s momentum in the opposite direction. That means it'll start moving forward at 0.1m/s. See?
What moves backwards and forwards in sound?
The atoms of the particular medium in which the sound is produced moves backward and forwards in sound.
What moves backwards and forwards but doesn't go anywhere?
A swing!
What moves backwards and forwards?
Is this a serious question? Cuz' lots of things do. :p
When a truck collides with van van moves backwards and truck forwards why?
The truck is heavier
What bird can only move backwards?
no bird can only move backwards! only a hummingbird has the ability to move backwards but it also moves forwards and left to right!
What is the definition of oscillating motion?
An Oscillating motion is one that moves forwards and backwards in an arc or circle repeatedly.
What is tympanum system?
The tympanic membrane, or ear drum. A thin piece of skin inside the ear that moves backwards and forwards when sound waves reach it
What moves forwards and backwards but has no legs it cannot talk it cannot walk it doesn't slither or crawl across the floor either It comes in different shapes sizes and colours What is it?
A door! :)

What is narrative continuity?
Narrative continuity is when the story (narrative) moves from one point in time to another sequentially. IE--the story does not jump forwards and backwards in time, as in Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, for example.
What are whirlpool bathtubs?
Rather than a normal bathtub which the water moves forwards, backwards, left and right, a whirlpool bathtub makes the water go clockwise/anti-clockwise to simulate a whirlpool effect.
Can time move backwards?
In a short answer, no. There are no known examples of time moving backwards, and no scientific theories supporting the organized reversal of time. Einstein's theory of relativity predicts time can progress at different rates for different observers, depending upon the differential relativistic speed of the observers, and this difference in the progression time has been confirmed experimentally. But even in those confirmed cases, time always moves forwards for all observers, it just moves forwards faster for some observers than for others.
