Question

1. fill in the blanks appropriately. when a rocket lifts off there is ____ with an equal and opposite ____. an action, reaction push, pull

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a rocket lifts off, the rocket exerts a force (action) on the exhaust gases by expelling them downward. In turn, the exhaust gases exert an equal and opposite force (reaction) on the rocket, propelling it upward. The terms "push" and "pull" do not accurately represent the relationship described by Newton's third law in this context.

Answer:

an action, reaction
