  2. 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. The rocket, on the other hand, slowly accelerates skyward. It would appear that something is wrong here if the action and reaction are supposed to be ...

  4. In this video, Prof. Hoffman reviews Newton's Laws of Motion (which will be explained in more detail in the next subsection), and show that the same principles that make it possible for airplanes to fly are also responsible for launching rockets into space. Video: Basics of Rocket Propulsion. MIT1600XT115 V014500 DTH. 0:00 / 0:00. Speed 1.0x.

  5. A Taste of Real Rocket Science Naturally, launching rockets into space is more complicated than Newton’s laws of motion imply. Designing rockets that can actually lift off Earth and reach orbital velocities or interplanetary space is an extremely complicated process. Newton’s laws are the beginning, but many other things come into play.
