The functioning of a satellite launch vehicle is based on which law of motion?

1. In a launch vehicle, fuel is burned and hot gases are expelled forcefully through rear nozzles. 2. By the action–reaction principle, this backward ejection produces a forward thrust on the vehicle. 3. The textbook attributes this to Newton's third law of motion. 4. So the launcher works on Newton's third law. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology, Ch 10 "Space Missions", p.149_
