400

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion

Inertia

400

According to Newton's second law of motion, if a rigid body of unchanging mass is observed accelerating, what must be happening?

A force is being applied to the mass.

The nozzle of a rocket is pointed downward so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes downward. Why is this arrangement necessary for a rocket to function properly?

As fuel is combusted, the rocket pushes the gases backward and the gases push the rocket forward.
