Gas/Pressurized liquid escapes the bottle's nuzzle, SOMETHING pushes the gas down, that something is ultimately the bottle itself. Newton's third law dictates that any force is applied on both bodies EQUALLY and in opposing directions. So if the bottle exerts force on the gas, the gas exerts the same force on the bottle, only on the opposite direction, which causes the bottle to accelerate upwards.

In layman's terms, gas goes down, bottle goes up :)

Does the action force in a rocket engine act on the hot gases or on the rocket?

The action force in a rocket engine acts on the hot gases expelled from the engine. As the gases are expelled at high speed in one direction, the rocket experiences a reaction force in the opposite direction, propelling it forward. This is described by Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What is the centre of mass on a rocket?

The center of mass on a rocket is the point where the mass of the rocket is considered to be concentrated. It is the point at which the rocket's weight can be assumed to act. The location of the center of mass is important for stability and control of the rocket during flight.


What forces act against a rocket?

The main forces that act against a rocket are air resistance (drag) and gravity. Air resistance causes drag as the rocket moves through the atmosphere, which can slow it down. Gravity pulls the rocket back towards the Earth, requiring the rocket's engines to generate enough thrust to overcome it and achieve liftoff.


What is the resultant of a pair of force's 100 Newtons upward and 75 newtons downward What is their resultant if they both act downward?

When a 100 Newton upward force is subtracted from a 75 Newton downward force, the resultant force is 25 Newtons downward. If both forces act downward, their resultant force would be the sum of the forces, which is 100 + 75 = 175 Newtons downward.


What forces act upon a rocket in space?

In space, the main forces acting upon a rocket include thrust generated by the engine to propel the rocket forward, gravity pulling the rocket towards a celestial body, and occasionally solar radiation pressure affecting the rocket's trajectory. Additionally, the rocket may experience small amounts of drag due to any lingering atmosphere in orbit.

What is the principle of newtons third law of motion?

Newton's Third Law states that if an object "A" acts on an object "B" with a certain force, then object "B" will act on object "A" with the same force (but in the opposite direction).


In newtons third law the action and reaction forces is act on different bodies it is correct or not and why?

had that not been the case then the two forces would cancel each other as they act on the same body being equal and opposite

Are the action and reaction forces in newtons third law equally proportional?

I've never heard of "equally proportional" and have no idea what it means.The action and reaction forces in Newton's third law are EQUAL in strength,and act in opposite directions. (That means they always add up to zero.)
