Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion,

Step-by-step explanation:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, as the gas is released from the balloon, it pushes against the outside air, and the outside air pushes back, and as a result, the rocket is propelled forward by the opposing force. This opposing force is thrust.
