Propellants are combined in a combustion chamber where they chemically react to form hot gases. The pressure that is exerted against the combustion chamber wall, results in what is known as thrust, and this is what propels a rocket into the air.
The fundamental force that propels a rocket is electromagnetism.
What happens is that fuel particles are given a high speed by some chemical reaction (the burning) and these are ejected from the rocket at the bottom. Because momentum has to be conserved, and these particles have a net downward momentum (the particles moving upwards collide with the rocket), the rocket gains a net upward momentum.
The collision part is where electromagnetism comes in; it is the force that is responsible for objects being solid. It is what keeps you from falling through your office chair right now!
The gases in the fuel chamber of the rocket combust and push on the inside of the rocket, propeling it forward or upward. This is because in space there is nothing for a rocket to push of off, except itself.
In a rocket launch, we see an action-reaction event. The chemical energy of the fuel is converted into thermal energy and then into mechanical energy. The chemical energy stored in the fuel is released in the "burn" that we see, and the thermal energy created by the super-hot exhaust is directed "down" to push the rocket up. The thrust of the directed exhaust will "push up" on the rocket and lift it against gravity. Whether liquid fuel or solid fuel is used, the basics are still the same.
-- Gravitational attraction toward the center of the earth.
-- Gravitational attraction toward the center of the moon.
-- Gravitational attraction toward the center of the sun.
-- Thrust during powered ascent phases.
-- Air resistance during brief period while still surrounded by appreciable atmosphere.
I don't think there are any significant forces besides these.
The main forces are the force of the fuel, pushing the rocket forward, and the force of gravity. As long as the rocket is inside of Earth's atmosphere, there is also the force of air resistance.

Um, Rocket Fuel. It is a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.
In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
A projectile is any moving object which does not propel itself. For example a rocket burns fuel to propel itself through the sky whilst a shell fired from a cannon has no way to propel itself.

the rocket it was attached had enough thrust to propel the combined weights of the spacecraft and the rocket itself to over 17,500 mph.

A popular rocket toy name is the "Stomp Rocket." It is a toy rocket launcher that uses air pressure to propel foam rockets into the air when stomped on.

This experiment will demonstrate the use of magnets to propel our model rocket across the parking lot. I hope that my repairs to the propeller will successfully propel us across the lake to safety.
What kind of rocket? A rocket you could make would use mainly compressed air A NASA rocket, would use a LOT of gasoline to propel it into the air.
It sucks in water and then pushes it out to propel itself.
Mostly to propel rockets, those going into space, and those carrying explosives.
