•Thrust depends on two factors:
-rate at which momentum leaves the rocket through the nozzle
-Exit pressure pexit
thrust of the rocket engine
Thrust
Rocket engines obtain their thrust in accordance with Isaac Newton's third law, making the rocket a reaction engine. A rocket engine is simply a jet engine.
The size of the engine you put in it.
Provide thrust ... which changes velocity.
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on the composition of the solid fuel and the rate at which it is burned, and to some extent on the way the gases are directed by the exhaust nozzles. The same material can be burned at different rates to produce more or less thrust, and the nozzles (also used for directional control) can divert this thrust to control velocity and stability.

A rocket engine is a reaction engine as the fuel is burnt the thrust created pushes the rocket forward. Newton's 1st law in action; for every reaction there is a equal and opposite reaction.
