Question
Complete a sentence and explain it.
The working of a rocket depends on Newton's ______ law of motion.
Solution
The working of a rocket depends on Newton’s third law of motion.
Explanation:
Newton's third law plays an important role in the acceleration of fire. When fuel is heated in a fire, a chemical reaction takes place and it burns. Free gases escape through a small hole in the tail on the ground side of the fireball. They exert an equal and opposite reaction force on fire. Due to this reaction force, the fire arrow accelerates forward.

A stone of 1 kg is thrown with a velocity of 20 m s−1 across the frozen surface of a lake and comes to rest after travelling a distance of 50 m. What is the force of friction between the stone and the ice?
According to the third law of motion, when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
