If things work as planned, the first stage uses up its fuel, and falls away, while the engines of the second stage ignite and push the rocket into a higher trajectory. This point in the launch sequence is called (predictably enough!) "staging", and it is at this point that things generally go terribly wrong if they are going to. You rarely hear of a rocket in which the second stage works properly and then the THIRD stage fails.
When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted, then it, too, falls away while the third stage pushes the rocket into its final orbit, or off into the solar system.
This "stages falling away" part is why the USA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida; the discarded stages fall harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when the first stage of the rocket runs out of fuel?
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.
What happens when the first stage of the multistage rocket runs out of fuel?
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.
What happens to the second stage when the first stage uses up its fuel?

What is a stage rocket?
That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.
What is a stage two rocket?
That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.

Did the Long March 2F have gunpowder in it?
No, the fuels used were:boosters - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)first stage - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)second stage - hydrazine (fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer)

What type of fuel did the Apollo eleven use?
Apollo 11 used a combination of liquid oxygen and hydrogen as fuel for its S-II second stage and S-IVB third stage rocket engines. The first stage of the Saturn V rocket used RP-1, a highly refined form of kerosene, along with liquid oxygen as fuel.
What is the first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle?
The first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle is mining and milling, where uranium ore is extracted from the ground and processed to produce yellowcake, a concentrated form of uranium oxide.
What happens in the first stage of a multistage rocket?
It gives the initial boost to get the rocket off the ground, as the fuel burns up it empties the stage, so to get it into space the first stage ejected to lighten the load and the second stage ignites. and so on. This is an almost out dated system, but occasionally it is still used.
A rocket is designed to drop its first stage mid flight due to malfunction. If this does not occur what is a possible result of this malfunction?
Since there is likely to be a small amount of unburnt fuel remaining in the first stage, when the second stage ignites, it will destroy the first stage completely. This is as a direct result of the unburnt fuel being heated past its flashpoint. The resulting explosion would obliterate the second stage (since it's still full of fuel) and the rest of the rocket, too. The whole "chain reaction" would happen in seconds! The rocket would also be too heavy to reach its destination.
