Rockets create thrust by expelling high-speed exhaust gases produced by burning fuel. This action follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As the gases are ejected from the rocket nozzle, they push against the surrounding air or propellant, propelling the rocket in the opposite direction.

Why do rockets use thrust?

Rockets use thrust to overcome the force of Earth's gravity.


What are 5 different types of rockets?

Solid-fuel rockets: These rockets use a solid propellant that is burned to create thrust. Liquid-fuel rockets: These rockets use liquid propellants, typically a fuel and an oxidizer, that are mixed and burned to produce thrust. Hybrid rockets: These rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants for propulsion. Ion propulsion rockets: These rockets use ionized gas accelerated by electromagnetic fields to generate thrust. Nuclear thermal rockets: These rockets use a nuclear reaction to heat a propellant, typically hydrogen, for propulsion.


How is rocket launched in space?

With a lot of thrust. American shuttles use 2 booster rockets filled with hydrogen and oxygen and uses fusion to create the power for the thrust.


Why don't rockets need air to stay up?

This is a bit of a silly question. Rockets create thrust which a force which keeps up. They are not dependant on air to stay u

What makes rockets fast?

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


Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?

Some rockets, such as liquid fuel rockets, carry liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer in a separate tank. The LOX is then mixed with the rocket's fuel and ignited to create thrust. Other rockets, like solid fuel rockets, have an oxidizer mixed into their solid fuel composition.


Why does thrust occur in model rockets?

Thrust happens when fuel is burnt in a sealed tube with a small orifice - basic science.
