Solution

Dear Student,

The motion of a rocket is an interesting application of Newton 's third law of motion & momentum principle. The rocket expels a jet of hot gases from its tail. This is say, an action force. The jet of hot gases exerts a force on the rocket, propelling it forward; this is the reaction force.
