Why a rocket moves in forward direction on ignition ?
Answers
Answer:
Newton's First Law
If an object, such as a rocket, is at rest then the forces on it are balanced. It takes an additional force to unbalance the forces and make the object move. If the object is already moving, it takes such an unbalanced force, to stop it, change its direction from a straight line path, or alter its speed.
In rocket flight, forces become balanced and unbalanced all the time. A rocket on the launch pad is balanced. The surface of the pad pushes the rocket up while gravity tries to pull it down. As the engines are ignited, the thrust from the rocket unbalances the forces, and the rocket travels upward. Later, when the rocket runs out of fuel, it slows down, stops at the highest point of its flight, then falls back to Earth.
