Question

will a rocket launching from a space platform have a greater acceleration than an identical rocket firing from free space? multiple choice need more information to answer this question. yes, the one on the platform provides something to push against. no, the forces are between the rocket and the exhaust gases. yes, the platform pushes back on the rocket

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is based on Newton's third - law. The force that propels a rocket comes from the expulsion of exhaust gases. Whether it is launched from a space - platform or free space, the main interaction is between the rocket and the exhaust gases it expels. The space - platform does not contribute to the rocket's propulsion force for acceleration in the context of the basic rocket - propulsion principle.

Answer:

C. No, the forces are between the rocket and the exhaust gases.
