Issac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A working rocket ejects a small amount of exaust at a very high velocity. The "equal and opposite reaction" is that the rocket moves in the opposite direction although at less speed than the exaust because the rocket "weighs" more.
Yes, it is "rocket science" but it is fairly painless.
I feel i should add that this answer could be "marked wrong" for many reasons but it is the best i can do without dragging Calculus and Mechanics into it.
Most vocational education colleges provide courses in "O Level" Physics that will explain this and many other wonderful things.
What else can I help you with?
How does Newton's third law explain how a rocket accelerates?
If a rocket pushes the burning gases towards the Earth, then - according to Newton's Third Law - those same gases push the rocket away from Earth.
How long it will take a time if people will go to sun from earth by rocket?
It would take about 19 years to travel by rocket from Earth to the Sun, assuming the rocket is traveling at a speed of 36,000 miles per hour. The distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles, so the time to travel will depend on the speed of the rocket.
Why does the rocket have to go sideways?
The rocket needs to go sideways to reach orbit. By moving sideways fast enough, the rocket can overcome the force of gravity pulling it back towards Earth. This sideways velocity allows the rocket to enter a stable orbit around Earth.
How does a rocket accelerate away from earth?
A rocket accelerates away from Earth by using propellant combustion in its engines to produce thrust. By expelling exhaust gases at high speeds, the rocket follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, propelling the rocket upward. The combination of thrust overcoming the force of gravity enables the rocket to accelerate and eventually break free from Earth's gravity.
Is earth inside or outside the asteroid?
outside
What outside force helps bring a rocket down to the surface of the Earth?
Gravity
How mach speed of the rocket?
I am a plus 2 student..... in 9th standard the escape velocity of a rocket to go to outside the earth is 11.13km/sec not sure .13 or not
What must be done to put a rocket into space outside of an orbit of the earth?
It has to reach escape velocity which on Earth is 11.2 Km per second
Can a rocket go outside of the Earth's orbit?
Yes, a rocket can go beyond Earth's orbit. For instance, rockets have been used to send spacecraft to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. However, once outside of Earth's orbit, a rocket would need to rely on its own propulsion system to continue traveling through space.
How fast is the speed of sound through air?
at 0 degrees Celsius sound travells 330 metres per second at 20 degrees Celsius sound travells 340 metres per second at 30 degrees Celsius sound travells 350 metres per second in water sound travells 1400 meters per second through wood sound travells 4500 metres per second through steel sound travells 5000 metres per second
Where does light travells fastest?
In a vacuum.
Rocket A travels with speed 0.800c relative to the earth Rocket B passes rocket A with speed 0.500c relative to rocket A Determine the speed of rocket B relative to the earth Assume that the earth?
0.929c formula is: vbe =( vae +vba )/(1+( vae *vba )/c2 )
What causes a rocket to drop back to earth?
A rocket drops back to Earth due to the force of gravity pulling it down. Once the rocket's engines stop providing thrust, the gravity of Earth becomes the dominant force, causing the rocket to descend.
What happens to the rocket when they leave earth?
When a rocket leaves Earth, it continues to accelerate to overcome Earth's gravity and reach orbital velocity. Once in space, the rocket enters orbit or continues on its trajectory to its destination. Without the force of Earth's gravity pulling on it, the rocket stays in motion according to the laws of physics.
How does a rocket reenter the earth atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere is just gas, just like an airplane can get through clouds, a rocket can get through the Earth's atmosphere.
What would happen if the thrust of the rocket at take-off was not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the earth?
If the thrust of the rocket at take-off is not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the Earth, it will not be able to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and achieve the necessary velocity to stay in orbit. The rocket would likely fall back to Earth due to gravity.
What stops a rocket from leaving the earth?
The Earth's Gravitational field
