Question

4. a) Using Newton's third law of motion (Action - Reaction Law) explain how
a rocketship is propelled.
b) Does Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation satisfy the Action -
Reaction Law? Discuss.

Definition Definition Fundamental law of forces which states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In other words, whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on the first body. It is also called the “action-reaction law” and was defined by Sir Isaac Newton.
