VI. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).

A rocket uses fuel to make power for the engine. The fuel is set on fire inside the rocket.
As the fuel burns, it creates gases that have great pressure. These gases are blasted out of the
rocket engines.
These gases all go out the bottom of the rocket engine where it is open. They come out so
fast and with so much power that the rocket is pushed up. It is pushed up so hard that the rocket
overcomes the force of gravity, which tries to keep everything on the ground. The force that
pushes up against the front of the rocket is called thrust.
Unlike an airplane, a rocket does not use wings to help it fly. It just uses the power and
force created by the burning fuel to make enough thrust.

1. A rocket uses the energy from wind to make power for the engine. .................
2. When the fuel burns, it creates gases that have great pressure. .................
