How does a “pop bottle” rocket use the principles of motion
Answers
Answered by

stuff shoots out the rear, body moves forward
Conservation of momentum (Newton #1)
initial momentum before reaction = 0
so momentum of body/exhaust system remains zero forever
therefore if exhaust moves back
then
body must move forward
to keep the total momentum zero
