  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. 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. The

  6. Chapters 7–11 provide in-depth discussion of solid, liquid, and hybrid rocket propulsion systems. An entire chapter (Chapter 9) is dedicated to liquid propellants for liquid rocket or hybrid propulsion systems. Turbomachinery discussions are also broken out into a dedicated chapter (Chapter 10).

  8. 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.
