Newton's Third Law
Rocket Propulsion Simulation
Action & Reaction
Action: Fuel expelled down.
Reaction: Rocket pushed up.
Action Force
0.00 N
Reaction Force
0.00 N
Fuel Remaining
100%
Hold SPACE or CLICK/TAP to fire
How it works:
Expelling fuel downward creates an upward force on the rocket. This illustrates that forces always exist in pairs.
