Question

Write Newton's 3rd law. How would this law relate to a rocket ship taking off from the earth? Would this law affect the rocket ship much once it is in space (be sure to explain your answer)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

Newton's 3rd law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, mathematically, we have;

$F_A$ = -$F_B$

Where;

$F_A$ = The action force

$F_B$ = The reaction force

Part B

The law indicates that the force with which a rocket ship uses in taking off from the Earth, $F_A$ is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the reaction force of the Earth to the motion of the rocket, (-)$F_B$

Part C

The law is a universal law, and it will also affect the rocket ship in space, as the force of the jet from the exhaust is directed towards Earth while in space, the rocket is propelled deeper into space
