What is the principle of operation of a jet engine?

  1. Newton's Third Law of Motion

  2. Bernoulli's Principle

  3. Conservation of Energy

  4. Conservation of Mass


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A jet engine operates on the principle of Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The engine pushes air backward, which in turn propels the aircraft forward.

What is the name of the force that attracts objects towards each other?

  1. Gravitational Force
