Thrust Structures Lab


This relates to newtons third law because when you apply a certain amount of force down, there is an equal amount of force pushing up. That is why the water bottle flies up when we drop the bag down.

This relates to M2M because when you launch from the earth or from Mars, you need enough force pushing you up to not only overcome the force of drag but also the force of gravity.

Excellent combination of the video demo and the specific explanation about Newton's 3rd law.
