Your question is very broad. One of the things a rocket takes off from is called a launch pad. Launch pads are the place where rockets take off. But the things that cause it to take off are completely different. A rocket takes off or 'launches' from a concept called thrust. Thrust is when say I have a ten pound ball that I want to throw directly up in the air. I need to create 10 pounds of energy to launch it and then enough energy to actually get it to where I want to go. Those are the basic things that make a rocket launch.

What part falls off after takeoff on a rocket?
The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.
How do spacecraft takeoff?
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.
What is the correct term used to describe the setting of a rocket or spacecraft into motion?
The most accurate answer is called liftoff or takeoff. I hope that was a good enough answer for you Thanks annonomuis
What part of the shuttle drops off after takeoff on a space shuttle?
The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.
What part falls off after takeoff on a space shuttle?
The Solid Rocket Booster drops off after it has been used completely, to reduce unneeded weight, and so it may be used again.
What you think the rocket kinetic energy is right after takeoff?
answer
Why does a rocket start vertically and then why doesnt it keep going vertically?
A vertical takeoff enables a rocket to get through the atmosphere with the least amount of fuel and drag. After takeoff, the rocket will progressively lean over to a more horizontal position because it follows the gravity turn trajectory.
What is the purpose of a launch rail?
The purpose of a launch rail is to hold the rocket steady during takeoff so that the rocket isn't tipped

How could a toy rocket accelerate after takeoff?
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.

How much fuel does rocket takeoff use?
500,000 gallons of cold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
How do spacecraft takeoff?
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.
Is the American flag fixed on the moon by Neil Armstrong still there?
Yes, it is still on the moon but rocket blast from takeoff knocked it over.
How much water do you put in a 2L bottle rocket?
2l of water plus some ground up orange rinds to boost the takeoff
