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
they dont believe in newtons third law
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
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 ?
Yes, and the gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving the fuel chamber.
ew gif compression
MISTER FLAPPY 😂
i cant tell wtf that is
rockets cannot push themselves forward with nothing to push off of
yeah they can
its called newtons third law
look it up
Well here's the video you just sent me
720p
and pushing off themselves doesn't help
No, Kevin. The gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving its tank.
So please look at the orb closest to the camera and explain mister flappy please @tripolarbear
