When a rocket engine burns its fuel, gases are produced. The gases exert a
force to which the rocket reacts with an equal and opposite force. It is the
reaction force of the gases on the rocket that drives the rocket forward. What
law explains this?
Ta of Acceleration

Answer:
Newton's third law of motion
Explanation:
Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
rockets move forward by expelling gas backward at high velocity. This means the rocket exerts a large backward force on the gas in the rocket combustion chamber, and the gas therefore exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket. This reaction force is called thrust.
