  4. In the case of rockets, the action is the force produced by the expulsion of gas, smoke, and flames from the nozzle end of a rocket engine. The reaction force propels the rocket in the opposite direction.When a rocket lifts off, the combustion products from the burning propellants accelerate rapidly out of the engine.
