This isn't really a homework question but it is something that I have been learning about out of school and this thought just popped into my head:
According to Newtons Third Law: "For evry action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
Now if you take a Jet engine,
It works on the fact that you are pushing force out of the back of the engine, so according to Newtons third law, there is a force pushing fowards.
If this force is equal and opposite of that coming out of the back of the engine, shouldn't you just stay stationary?
