Question

Rocket works on prinviple of conservation of?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rocket works on the conservation of momentum.

In a rocket, the fuel burns and produces gas at high temperature. These gases are ejected out of the rocket from a nozzle at the back side of the rocket. The ejecting gas exerts a forward force on the rocket which help in accelerating. Through the mass of gases escaping per second is very small and their momentum is very large due to their tremendous velocity of escape. An equal and opposite momentum is imparted to the rocket which despite its large mass builds up a high velocity.

The rocket works because of the law of conservation of linear momentum. The law of conservation of linear momentum is very important in physics.
