To figure out how to get from Earth to another planet, and to figure out how much fuel will be needed in various cases, we need to start with Newton's laws of motion, again:

Newton's First Law: A body will remain at rest or in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's Second Law: Change in motion is proportional to the applied force and parallel to it.

Newton's Third Law: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

By Newton's first law, two things are really cheap: Coasting and sitting still. Out in space, sitting still is a little hard to define - do I mean compared with the Sun, or Mars? Also, most of the time we are in an orbit of some sort, so sitting still doesn't really make sense. What we need to think about is how to change from one kind of orbit to another kind of orbit.

Newton's Third Law contains the "secret" of rocket propulsion for space travel. Take A and B. If A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A. Or, in the case of space travel, if a mass (m) of fuel is pushed out the exhaust of a rocket, then the rocket will accelerate in the opposite direction the direction the exhaust fuel went.



satyasatya50: but I am asked how it goes into another plant
gowtham73: But there's nothing like a sub plane
gowtham73: planet not plane
satyasatya50: how the rocket move towards the other planets which principle
gowtham73: 3rd: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The third law of newton
gowtham73: So the third law basically says that if you shoot out stuff in one direction you will move in the other direction. This is how rockets work in a vacuum. They have a source of fuel which is heated up so that it expands and is pushed out of the rocket. In order to change direction in space rockets have to have little 'thrusters' on all sides (you need 6 in total to maneuver completely in 3 dimensions).
gowtham73: Newton's 3rd law seems contrary to our intuition because on Earth there are lots of sources of friction - providing much easier methods of propulsion! However, you might have seen it in action if you have ever blown up a balloon and then let go of it before tying it up. What pushes the balloon all around the room is the air you blew into it escaping.
