It is Newton's Third Law that allows rockets to launch into space. The rocket exerts a force on the gases downwards and so the gases exert a force on the rocket upwards.

This defies Newton’s third law of motion, which has long dictated ... The ultimate proving ground for the propellant-less rocket will be in space. Dr. Buhler and his team are working toward ...

A NASA engineer claims to have discovered a fuel-free propulsion system, challenging Newton’s laws and sparking debate over its potential to revolutionize space travel.

You'll learn about action-reaction forces (Newton's Third Law), gas pressure, and chemical reactions while creating an impressive launch that can send your rocket soaring several meters into the air.

The Space Shuttle uses rocket propulsion. Use your knowledge of Newton's Third Law to solve the following problem. You are standing in the middle of a frozen pond. Imagine that the ice on the pond ...
