Propulsion of rocket follows from the_________________?
Correct answer: B. Newton's third law of motion
- A. Newton's second law of motion
- B. Newton's third law of motion
- C. Law of projectiles
- D. Archimedes principle
Explanation
A rocket ejects gases backward at high velocity, producing an equal and opposite forward reaction on the rocket. This is the direct application of Newton’s third law.
