Give a real-world example of Newton’s Third Law of Motion.
3 answers
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A real-world example of this can be seen in how rockets launch into space. When a rocket ignites its engines, it expels exhaust gases out of the back at high speed. The action force is the gas pushing backward out of the rocket's engine. According to Newton's third law, there must be an equal and opposite reaction force, which in this case, is the rocket being pushed forward with an equal force. This reaction force propels the rocket upwards and allows it to overcome Earth's gravitational pull to enter space.
ok, say that again but in a shorter, one sentence answer, ok?
A real-world example of Newton's Third Law of Motion is a rocket launching, where the action of expelling gas outwards results in the opposite reaction of the rocket moving upwards.
