Question

Electricity can be used to replace the fuel and power a rocket (using today's mechanism) just like an electric car?

• A. True, as Electricity is also a form of energy
• B. False, as Electricity is not a source of energy
• C. False, as the rocket needs to throw out fuel in the opposite direction to move.
• D. True, as mechanism for car and rocket is similar.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

False, as the rocket needs to throw out fuel in the opposite direction to move.

Rocket launch works on the principle of third law of motion as the ejection of fuel creates the perfect push for the rocket to launch.
