Question

A rocket pushes exhaust 10, 000 N. Without any other forces acting on the rocket, how much force does the rocket go forward? *

Answer 1

Answer:

10,000 N

Explanation:

Given that a rocket pushes exhaust 10, 000 N. Without any other forces acting on the rocket, how much force does the rocket go forward?

Solution

Since there is no any other additional forces, according to Newton's 3rd law of motion which state that:

In every action there will be equal and opposite reaction.

The action expelled by the rocket through its exhaust system is of 10000N.

The reactive force will be equal and opposite which will be same -10,000 N

Therefore, the rocket will go forward with a force of magnitude 10,000 N
