How do rockets/missiles go so fast (thousands of miles an hour)
In: 4
Rockets move by throwing propellant out the back in the opposite direction. Per Newton’s Third Law, since the rocket exerts a force on the propellant, the propellant also exerts a force on the rocket. Rockets are able to move so quickly because the speed they throw the exhaust out the back is typically measured in *kilometers per second.*
