How do rockets actually get off the ground? 🚀
Phil Smyth, better known as Phil of Science, joins Ireland AM to explain Newton’s Third Law of Motion with a series of fun experiments, including an incredible rocket launch demonstration.
From jumping and bottle rockets to a powerful experiment using butane gas, Phil shows how every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
⚠️ Important: Some of the experiments shown involve butane gas and other hazardous materials. These demonstrations were carried out under controlled conditions and should not be attempted at home.
