Question

Explain how a rocket works.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rockets work by a scientific rule called Newton's third law of motion. ... The exhaust pushes the rocket, too. The rocket pushes the exhaust backward. The exhaust makes the rocket move forward.

Answer 2

Rocket engines work by action and reaction and push rockets forward simply by expelling their exhaust in the opposite direction at high speed, and can therefore work in the vacuum of space. In fact, rockets work more efficiently in space than in an atmosphere.
