Question

How did Sir Isaac Newton MOST LIKELY influence rockets?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sir Isaac Newton contributed significantly to the field of science over his lifetime. He invented calculus and provided a clear understanding of optics. But his most significant work had to do with forces, and specifically with the development of a universal law of gravitation and his laws of motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Like all objects, rockets are governed by Newton's Laws of Motion. ... Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward. This creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.
