Jet force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The jet force is a rocket-like force due to Newton's third law which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The backward moving exhaust of a burning fuel pushes a rocket or jet forward. It means that throwing a brick off the back of a child's wagon also would push the wagon forward.
