Prompt 5: the motion of space shuttles is caused differently than that of most modes
of transportation. as the fuel is burned, the hot gases produced rush out of the bottom
of the craft. this causes the space shuttle to launch into the air. describe how hot
gases rushing out of the bottom of a space shuttle cause it to launch.
in your response, be sure to include:
• identify the forces acting on the space shuttle, as well as the direction they are
acting
• how newton's third law allows the space shuttle to launch.
• why there is a delay between when the fuel starts to burn and when the space
shuttle launches.
be sure to consider the completeness of your response, supporting details, and accurate use of terms.
