According to Newton's Third Law, if someone is riding a wakeboard and then jumps off, the wakeboard will travel in the opposite direction because...

for the force that sent the person forward, there is an equal force pushing back on the wakeboard.

the mass of the wakeboard is the same as the person jumping off

the pull of gravity on the person is sthe same as on the wakeboard

the air resistance on the person is great and the friction on the wakeboard is small

The nozzle of a toy rocket is pointed down so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes down. Why is this necessary?

As fuel is combusted, the rocket pushes the gases backward and the gases push the rocket forward.

The rocket is protected from the heat of the exhaust.

Burned fuel can be collected on the ground.

This allows the rocket to be steered properly.

A frog leaping upward off the lily pad is pulled down by gravity and lands on another lily pad instead of continuing in a straight line.
