Which law explains why rockets can propel themselves in space?
A
Newton's First Law
B
Newton's Third Law
C
Bernoulli's Principle
D
Newton's Second Law
Correct Answer: Option B — Newton's Third Law
Explanation:
Rockets work on Newton's Third Law as gases expelled backward at high speed produce an equal and opposite forward thrust allowing propulsion...
Rockets work on Newton's Third Law as gases expelled backward at high speed produce an equal and opposite forward thrust allowing propulsion even in the vacuum of space.
