MCQ
$Assertion$ : A rocket moves forward by pushing the surrounding air backwards.

$Reason$ : It derives the necessary thrust to move forward according to Newton’s third law of motion

  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: A.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a
A rocket moves forward taking the help of reaction force. For that it has to exert a force on the surrounding air so that it receives reaction force as per Newton’s third law.
