Why does a rocket accelerate upwards?
A rocket accellerates in whatever direction it's pointed. Another way to put this is to say that a rocket accelerates in the opposite direction of its engine exhaust. See Newton's 2nd law of motion.
What is the name of the force that pushes a rocket upwards?
thrust
How much force is needed to lift 78 pounds person into the air?
Any upward force greater than 78 lbs will accelerate that person vertically upwards.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force
Force required to accelerate a mass?
Force = mass x acceleration. Any amount of force will accelerate a mass. The amount of force you want to use depends on how quickly you want to accelerate something.
What is a net or resultant force that enables an object to accelerate?
The net force that enables an object to accelerate is a force greater than zero.
If a rocket's thrust is greater than it's weight what will happen?
If a rocket exerts a greater downward force than the force with which gravity pulls on, it will accelerate upwards.
How does a nuclear bomb exploding behind a spacecraft help it go upwards?
the blast force would cause it to accelerate at Hugh speed thus the spacecraft goes upwards.

A rocket has been fired upwards to launch a satellite in its orbit .Name the 2 forces action on the rocket after leaving the launching pad?
gravity and frictional force

Any upward force greater than 78 lbs will accelerate that person vertically upwards.
How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lift off?
As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.-information from Prentice Hall, Science Explorer: Physical Science

A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If Theres Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?
To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object. Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'. When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling. Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces. What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.
