large rocet are used to go into the space away from the earth. which force do they act
Answers
Newton’s first law
Newton’s first law helps us understand how forces get objects such as rockets moving.
An object at rest (not moving) will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Also, an object in motion will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Balanced forces before lift-off
When a rocket is sitting on the launch pad and not moving, there are forces acting on it, but these forces are balanced. This means that the force pulling it downwards (gravity) is equal to the force pushing it upwards (support force of the ground). These forces are balanced. The rocket will keep on not moving, as described by Newton’s first
Unbalanced forces during lift-off
For an object to start moving, there needs to be an unbalanced force. This means that the forces pushing an object in one direction are greater than the forces pushing it in the opposite direction. The unbalanced force (also called resultant force) is the difference between the force(s) pushing in one direction and the force(s) pushing in the opposite direction.
There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift-off:
Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.
Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the Earth. For every kilogram of mass, there is 9.8 newtons (N) of weight.
