Q: Rockets work on the principle of _________ conservation.
  • A. momentum
  • B. mass
  • C. energy
  • D. velocity
Correct Answer: Option A - Rocket works on the principle of conservation of momentum. Rocket emits gases in backward direction which creates momentum of the gases backward direction and thus by conservation of momentum, the rocket gets motion in the forward direction making it to move forward.
