Intro Newton's 3rd Law. An example is a rocket in outer space. How does it move if there is no air? Well, actually it doesn't need air, according to Newton's 3rd Law. The exhaust of the rocket pushes off the engine and the engine pushes off the exhaust. This interaction makes the ship go forward. Again, Newton's 3rd Law formally stated says, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
