Explain the principle of rockets.

Open in App
Solution


Rocket move and accelerate as a result of Newton's 3rd law which states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Mass (in form of exhaust) being ejected by rocket out of the back end and rocket pushed up work on a principle of momentum conservation.
