A rocket is a machine that develops thrust by the rapid expulsion of matter. The major components of a chemical rocket assembly are a rocket motor or engine‚ propellant consisting of fuel and an oxidizer‚ a frame to hold the components‚ control systems and a cargo such as a satellite. A rocket differs from other engines in that it carries its fuel and oxidizer internally‚ therefore it will burn in the vacuum of space as well as within the Earth’s atmosphere. The cargo is commonly referred to as the

SHAMINMENISHA How Water Rockets Work A water rocket works using the same principles as other rockets. There are three main forces in action: thrust (Fapp)‚ drag (Ffr) and weight (w=mg). The water‚ which is forced out by the difference between internal and atmospheric pressure‚ is a reaction mass that provides the thrust. All rockets have a reaction mass‚ which can vary from hot gasses that are expelled when a fuel is burnt (in the Space Shuttle’s SRB’s for example) to water in a water rocket. The air molecules
