Question
During a discussion session inside the classroom
on how spacecraft move in space, Jassica said:
"The spacecraft rushes from the Earth's
atmosphere and the amount of its speed and
direction of movement changes when it pushes the
gases released from the rockets installed on it the
atmospheric air, and that there is no point in having
these rockets in the spacecraft in space, as these
rockets cannot change the amount of speed of this
spacecraft in space or the direction of its
movement because there is no air in space and is
driven by the gases coming out. Of which,
Is Jassica words true, explained.
