The third law applies here. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket fuel is ignited it exerts enormous thrust directed downwards. If the rocket is not constrained to the launching pad (with very very heavy restraints) it sees no other way to nullify the enormous thrust but to set itself in motion. Soon as more fuel burns, the rocket accelerates. As a side, if the rocket was restrained with very heavy agents, these agents (in the form of nuts and bolts or whatever) will have to bear the thrust of the rocket engine.

For the non-scientist:

Consider a balloon with large pressure inside relative to small pressure outside. It doesn't move up, because there is an equal force down (inside). It doesn't move right, because there is an equal force on the left side (on the inside of the balloon). If you put a hole in the balloon (the inside gas rushes out due to the difference in pressure) there is an unbalance of forces. On one side, there is internal pressure, but on the other side there is a hole (around no pressure). So the balloon moves to the opposite side of the hole. Rockets work the same way (more or less).

newtons law of motion


Can you use newtons third law of motion to explain why the rocket moves upwards?

Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.the force coming out of the rocket creates thrust and thus pushes the rocket and the ground in opposite directions, the mass of the earth is so great that the rocket can not really move it, so instead the rocket shoots up away from the ground.


How does the first and third law of motion apply to a rocket launching?

1st. The rocket sets still until a force, burning fuel, causes a change in motion. 2nd. F=ma The force of the burning fuel causes an acceleration of the rocket. 3rd. Action/reaction. The action of hot burning gases leaving the rocket causes a reaction, which is the motion of the rocket in the opposite direction. Note: The exhaust does not need to hit the ground to cause the reaction. A rocket engine ignited in outer space will cause a change in the motion of the rocket.


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.


Advantages of newtons laws?

Newton's laws of motion provide a foundation for understanding and describing how objects move. They are used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and astronomy to predict and analyze motion. These laws have practical applications in everyday life, such as in designing vehicles, structures, and sports equipment.

What type of force launches a rocket?

The force that launches a rocket is generated by the rocket engines thrusting against the ground, creating a reaction force that propels the rocket upward. This force is known as thrust force.

The achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space can be explained by what law?

The achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space can be explained by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law explains how the rocket engines generate thrust by expelling gases downward, causing the rocket to move upward.

What forces are involved when a rocket launches?

When a rocket launches, thrust is generated by the engine pushing against the ground, causing the rocket to move upwards. This thrust is produced by the combustion of fuel inside the rocket engine. Additionally, gravity acts on the rocket, pulling it down towards the Earth, while air resistance creates drag forces that the rocket must overcome.


What energy does kinetic energy change to as a rocket launches?

As a rocket launches, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy due to the rocket's increase in height. The rocket's engines also convert chemical energy into kinetic energy to propel the rocket into space.


How many newtons of force does a rocket need to take off?

This depends on the weight of the rocket, weight being the mass of the rocket multiplied by earth's gravitational pull. To take off, the rocket needs to exert force larger than the weight, and for a sufficient amount of time to break out of orbit. For instance, if the rocket had a mass of 1kg, it'd exert (1 * 9.8), or 9.8 Newtons of force towards to ground via it's weight (9.8 being the acceleration towards the ground due to gravity). This means that to start to accelerate away from the ground, the rocket would need to exert force higher than 9.8 Newtons. If your hypothetical rocket has a mass of x kg, then it will need to exert a force greater than 9.8x newtons, ignoring air resistance and decaying of the gravitational field.

Fakes. There's no such things about rocket and white stone.


How does a rocket represent newtons 3rd law of motion?

A rocket represents Newton's 3rd law of motion by demonstrating that for every action (the force of the rocket pushing exhaust gases downward), there is an equal and opposite reaction (the force pushing the rocket upwards). This is why the rocket propels itself upwards as it expels gases downwards.
