Question

a model rocket is powered by an inflated balloon as shown below. when the air in the balloon is released, the rocket will move forward. which of the following statements is the best example of newtons third law of motion in this situation? the rockets mass is equal to the gravitational force. the rocket moves in the same direction of the force of the air. the rocket moves in the opposite direction of its force on the air. the rockets mass is equal to the force of the released air.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the air is released (action force), the rocket moves in the opposite direction (reaction force).

Answer:

The rocket moves in the opposite direction of its force on the air.
