No, they are different.
rocket uses propellant to push off gas
@tripolarbear Let's have a look
with nothing to push off, rocket doesn't move
A feather and a rocket are different in their composition and structure.
if you want evidence on why rockets work just fire a gun you live in the us right?
they both use air to move
and just change the density of the projectile
A feather is made up of a bunch of loose parts while a rocket is one solid object.
eg a heavyier bullet
running fan is using air to push a feather, move it
@tripolarbear So why isn't it moving?
rocket uses air to push itself, to move it
because its anchored
in a vacuum neither moves
you cant have your rocket flying around your vacuum chamber can you?
that image I ~~showed~~ mentioned above is inconcslusive because of the parameters of it
@^Kevin^ use a bullet with a weight then compare the recoil to a bullet that weighs more but has the same velocity
different recoil
Could you people listen? I've tried saying that when the gases in a rocket evacuate the chamber that they are in, the leave out through a cup shaped nozzle. The gas accelerates because the diameter of the nozzle changes, resulting in a force. Newton's Third Law, the opposite force is being applied to the cup of the nozzle
lets not overcomplicate something already complicated by bringing guns into it
rockets "push" off air apparently
@tripolarbear Only when it suits them it seems
guns wouldn't work in a vacuum because the gunpowder wouldn't ignite without oxygen in the air
The gas is pushing on the rocket, the gas isn't pushing off of the air
you'd need a gun that would work underwater for it to work
but in nz we dont worry about people carrying around hand guns and suicides are less?
like a spear gun
its smokeless powder
that has no relevance to vacuums and rockets/fans/feathers
gun ownership is directly related to suicide succesfulness
gun usage*
you cannot throw yourself forward with your own hand
you have to push off something
or walk
or swim
@tripolarbear Care to explain please why the rocket does not move but mister flappy however does and moves in the WRONG DIRECTION ?
