The nozzle of a rocket is pointed downward so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes downward. Why is this arrangement necessary for a rocket to function properly?

• The rocket is protected from the heat of the exhaust.

• Burned fuel can be collected on the ground.

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

• This allows the rocket to be steered properly.

According to Newton’s Third Law, if someone jumps off a skateboard, the skateboard will roll backward because -

• the mass of the skateboard is the same as the mass of the person jumping off.

• the pull of gravity on the person is the same as on the skateboard, regardless of size.

• the air resistance on the person is great and the friction on the skateboard is small.

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