As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.

When the rocket expels gases with high velocity downward, an equal and opposite force is generated, pushing the rocket in the opposite direction due to Newton's third law of motion. This action-reaction pair creates the propulsion needed for the rocket to lift off.

Explain why the majority of genes in an organism occur in pairs.?
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
What are two pairs of action-reaction forces involving a bucket?
When a person lifts a bucket upward, the person exerts an upward force on the bucket, and the bucket exerts a downward force on the person. When a bucket is pushed along the ground, the person exerts a forward force on the bucket, and the bucket exerts an equal and opposite backward force on the person.
What pairs with what in base pairing?
Cytosine pairs with Guanine Adenine Pairs with Thymine
Which base in RNA pairs with adeine?
Uracil. There are five bases in RNA/DNA. They are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil. In DNA: Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine pairs with Cytosine In RNA: Adenine pairs with Uracil and Guanine pairs with Cytosine
According to the DNA base pairing rules cytosine always bonds with what?
In DNA adenine pairs with thymine. In RNA adenine pairs with uracil.
How do action reaction pairs explain how a rocket lifts off?
Rocket emits particles backward with great force. This means that there is also a force in the other direction, which pushes the rocket forward. Also apparent from conservation of momentum.
What is the difference between pairs and ice dance?
There are two categories in which a male and a female team compete together. In the 'pairs' event, the skaters perform things such as jumps (throws and side by side), overhead lifts, and spins (in unison and together). The ladies that do pairs have a shorter dresses (about mid-thigh). Ice dance is very similar to ballroom dancing. There are no jumps, no overhead lifts (other lifts are permitted), and only spins together. The ladies that ice dance wear longer dresses (past knee length).
What is pairs ice skating?
its where two skaters skate together, most of the time its a male and a female, and the male lifts the girl up and they do lifts and routines together. if you live in the UK watch dancing on ice but if you live in the US watch skating with the stars and that's pairs skating :)
Explain how to find factor pairs of numbers?
84 factor is
What is an example of action-reaction pairs?
An example of action-reaction pairs is when you push against a wall (action) and the wall pushes back against you with an equal force (reaction). Another example is when a rocket pushes gas downwards (action), causing the rocket to move upwards (reaction).
Is a trapezoid a parallelogram explain why or why not?
It is not because it does not have two pairs of parallel sides.
How is thrust produced in a rocket?
Thrust in a rocket is produced by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket burns fuel, hot gases are expelled out of the rocket nozzle at high speed, creating a force in the opposite direction, which propels the rocket forward.
What newton law of motion is also known as actionreaction.?
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is often referred to as the action-reaction law. It explains how forces occur in pairs and act in opposite directions.
Explain why a square is a parallelogram?
Because it is a 4 sided quadrilateral with with 2 pairs of parallel sides
Which one is safer pairs skating or figure skating?
Pairs skating fits under the category of the sport 'figure skating'. In figure skating, there are 3 main categories that compete: singles, pairs, and ice dance. There's also synchronized skating, which doesn't generally compete at the same events as the others. Out of singles, pairs, and ice dance, pairs is the most dangerous. Basically everything is done with your partner, including throws, side-by-side jumps, spins, and lifts.
Can a rectangle be a rhombus explain it?
No. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. A rhombus has all four sides equal.
Explain why the majority of genes in an organism occur in pairs.?
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
