Exploring Rockets Through Newton's Laws

What is the main question the video aims to answer?

• What materials are best for building rockets?

• What is the speed of light?

• How do airplanes fly?

• How do rockets fly in space without air?

What is used to launch the CO2 canister rocket?

• A sharp point and an arm

• A spring

• A rubber band

• A catapult

According to Newton's Third Law, what happens when the gas rushes out of the CO2 canister?

• The rocket moves in the opposite direction of the gas

• The rocket stays still

• The rocket moves in the same direction as the gas

• The rocket moves sideways

What does Newton's Third Law state about the ground's role in launching a rocket?

• The ground provides extra force

• The ground has nothing to do with it

• The ground is essential for launching

• The ground reduces the rocket's speed

What is the purpose of removing the ground from the equation in the experiment?

• To decrease the rocket's speed

• To increase the rocket's speed

• To prove the ground has no effect

• To show the ground's importance

What is added to the larger water rocket to increase its force?

• More water and gas

• Less water and gas

• More air

• Less air
