NASA plans to launch a new satellite to orbit the Earth. As the satellite is launched the thrust of the hot exhaust gas is pushed through the rocket nozzle and is accelerated toward the rear of the rocket. In turn, the rocket engine is then lifted off of the ground. According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which statement below is true of the forces involved? A The downward force exerted by the exhaust on the engine is greater.
B The magnitude of both forces is equal to zero acting in opposite directions.
C Both forces are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction.
D The upward force exerted by the engine on the exhaust is greater.
