Which of Newton's Laws of Motion makes the 2 liter bottle fly so high?

• Newton's 3rd law. Water flows out due to air pressure. This creates thrust greater than the weight of the water bottle rocket which pushes the bottle up.

• Newton's 1st law. Water flows out due to air pressure. This creates thrust greater than the weight of the water bottle rocket which pushes the bottle up.

• Newton's 2nd law. Water flows out due to air pressure. This creates thrust greater than the weight of the water bottle rocket which pushes the bottle up.

• None of Newton's laws are required to lift a rocket off the surface of the earth.

What is the action reaction pair for the water bottle rocket?

• Water flowing down - bottle flying up

• Bottle flying up - water flowing down

• Air pressure pushing on water - water flowing down

• Tire pump pushing on bottle - bottle flying up
