The skater in your example accelerates opposite to you only as long as you're pushing the rock with your hand. How does the rocket push on the outward flowing gas so that the rocket accelerates in the opposite direction? There is no hand or piston to push the gas. If the rocket doesn't push on the gas the gas can't push back on the rocket. So, how does Newton's third law come into play?
I absolutely loved these examples. I am trying to teach myself physics and this is the most fun I have had learning it without being overwhelmed with symbols and concepts I haven't yet mastered. Thank you, as always.

@@wyattb3138 There are limited options on creating or designing a rocket engine as pretty much all of them has a thin throat and a big nozzle to convert Sub Sonic speeds into super sonic.
Grimm_m, start with subsonic then run CFD software to optimize the nozzle design and do supersonic later. You have to design your rocket engine off your chemical reactants.
Major flow: who says that the delta m is the mass of the fuel?! by definition it is the change in mass of the expelled gases; there is a correlation for sure but delta m in the equation is not the mass of the fuel that need to be burned, it is much more complex than that.
Why didn’t you use t in question 1 and from what I’ve heard is that if you have even 1 thing missing like t (time ) or a (acceleration) you can’t have the correct and proper answer
So the wind blowing out of the LEM's engine nozzle, as it landed on the moon, would need to be more than the mass of the vehicle to account for deceleration? Do I have that right?
@@PsychoMuffinSDM Thanks. So can you help me get an idea of the speed or velocity of the gas. I know that in throat it cannot exceed local mach and I have no idea what that would be except that it speeds up from there.
GoneBamboo - You can create the same "Force" by pushing away a very large mass SLOWLY or a very small mass VERY FAST. You need to generate MOMENTUM which is defined as MASS times VELOCITY. So you can create a large MOMENTUM with high velocity and low mass (like a rocket engine) or low velocity and high mass (like a catapult throwing rocks) I have a 44 magnum desert eagle that fires very large bullets and a relatively low muzzle velocity. Don't you agree that my smaller .223 rifle could create the SAME RECOIL as the desert eagle IF it can get the smaller bullet to much higher velocity than the 44 magnum?
Couldn't it be like, that we could differentiate momentum w.r.t time and get m.dv/dt & v.dm/dt and consdering velocity constant it would become F=v.dm/dt. Also what if the rocket is still leaving eath shouldn't mass.g be applied
can someone help me with this: NASA is launching a rocket into space from Earth. This particular rocket burns its fuel for 5 minutes and then turns off its engines. At this point, the rocket keeps floating along through space at a speed of 10 km/s. a.) What is the rocket’s average acceleration during these first 5 minutes? b.) How far did the rocket travel during the first 5 minutes? c.) The Moon is approximately 3.8 x 10^5km from Earth. At its final speed, how long will it take the rocket to reach the Moon? d.) The star nearest to us, called Alpha Centauri, is 4.1 x 10^13 km away. Could this rocket get a man to Alpha Centauri before he dies of old age? e.) The rocket is half way to the Moon when its pilot suddenly notices he forgot his camera! He radios a second rocket crew on Earth and tells them to bring his camera and meet him on the Moon when he lands. Unfortunately, the second rocket can only accelerate at 3 m/s^2. Can this second rocket make it to the Moon before the first one lands?
Hello, I need help for followinng question. Please! A small research rocket of mass 250kg is launched vertically as part of a weather study. It sends out 50 kg of burnt fuel and exhaust gases with a velocity of 180 ms-1 in a 2 s initial acceleration period. (a) What is the velocity of the rocket after this initial acceleration? (Answer v = 40 ms-1) (b) What upwards force does this apply to the rocket? (Answer F = 4500N) (c) What is the net upwards acceleration acting on the rocket? (Use g = 10 ms-2 if required) (Answer a = 10 ms-2)

In my book a more complex rocket propulsion equation is given...
By the way the last question you can use F = m x delta(v)/delta(t)

Couldn't it be like, that we could differentiate momentum w.r.t time and get m.dv/dt & v.dm/dt and consdering velocity constant it would become F=v.dm/dt.
Also what if the rocket is still leaving eath shouldn't mass.g be applied
what about this formula f+u(change in m)=ma
So when calculating the thrust force,are we always supposed to calculate for the fluid first?
F = (m/t) x V
F=thrust
M=weight
T=time
V=velocity
Nice but you dont take into account the relative change in mass ejection as the rocket increases speed per unit time.
Its the speed of the exhaust, not the rocket. Exhaust velocity will be constant no matter how much mass is expelled.

m3 = m_fuel gas = 50 kg v3 = 180 ms^-1 t = 2 s (initial acceleration)
From m1.u1 = m2.v2 + m3.v3
(250kg x 0 ms^-1) = (200 kg x v2) + (50 kg x 180 ms^-1)
==> v2 = -45 ms^1 = 45 ms^-1 in the direction opposite to the exhausted gas (Hence, answer = 40 ms^-1 is WRONG)
(b) m2 = m_rocket = 250 kg - 50 kg = 200 kg
u2 = u_rocket = 0 ms^-1
v2 = 45 ms^-1 (as calculated in (a) above) t2 = 2 s
a2 = a_apply = ?
From a = (v-u)/t
==> a2 = a_apply = (45 ms^-1 - 0 ms^-1) / 2 s = 22.5 ms^-2
==> F_apply = m.a_apply = 200 kg x 22.5 ms^-2 = 4500 N
(c) m2 = m_rocket = 250 kg - 50 kg = 200 kg
F_g = m2.g = 200 kg X 10 ms^-2 = 2000 N (only m_rocket as fuel and gas are burning off)
F_net = F_appy - F_g
and F_appy = 4500 N (found in (b))
==> F_net = 4500 N - 2000 N = 2500 N
