The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed air. It is an example of Newton's third law of motion. Water and gas are used in combination, with the gas providing a means to store potential energy, as it is compressible, and the water increasing the mass fraction and providing greater force when ejected from the rocket's nozzle. The…
