When it comes to water bottles, there is downward momentum, which creates an upward momentum. The reason for this is the conservation of momentum. That's why the water bottle is driven upward. The downward momentum is created by the water mass times water's velocity.

How do pop bottle rockets work?
There is water in the bottle and the air gets compressed to launch the bottle into the air, and when it reaches apegy, the parachute comes out and lands the bottle safely.
How is a tornado in a bottle project similar to a real tornado?
Both the tornado in bottle and a real tornado involve a vortex that strengthens via the principle of conservation of angular momentum.
Can you trap sound in a bottle?
No because sound travels by vibrating the air. When the vibrations hit the inside of the bottle, they bounce off of the walls for a while, and will eventually lose momentum and their effect.
What makes the tornado in the bottle spin?
When you flip the bottle you impart some circulation into the bottle. As water gets pulled in towards the hole at the bottom of the bottle this circulation speeds up through the conservation of angular momentum. The draining water and vortex enhance one another until it forms a "tornado."
Why cant you just use pressurized air for water bottle rockets?
air doesn't have enough mass. water is needed for it's mass. a plastic drink bottle can't hold enough air, the pressure would be to high.
When was The Bottle Rockets created?
The Bottle Rockets was created in 1992.
How many bottle rockets are in a brick of bottle rockets?
144 are in a standard pack. Also referred to as a "gross" of bottle rockets
What propells bottle rockets?
The force of energy and oxygen propells bottle rockets.
How do the principles of a water bottle rocket relate to real rockets?
Thy operate on the same principle. The water going backwards has momentum that is balanced by the rocket going forward.

What are the differences between space rockets and bottle rockets?
a space rocket is big and can fit many people but a bottle rocket is small and is used to send monkeys or satellites to space.
What law is in water bottle rockets?
