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 ?
Yes, and the gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving the fuel chamber.
ew gif compression
MISTER FLAPPY 😂
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
if you push off yourself, where do you go?
you don't move
you spin
your not moving
no linear motion no
Kevin, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself.
gasses from the rocket?
but angular motion yes
you don't spin by pushing off yourself
you spin by pushing off something near you to create a spin
