Question
Explain the motion of a rocket with the help of Newton's third law.
Short Note
Solution
When a rocket moves in space, it pushes gases outside, i.e. the rocket applies force on the gases in the backward direction. As a reaction, the gases put equal amount of force on the rocket in the opposite direction and the rocket moves in the forward direction.
