The burning of the propellant is what (usually) provides the thrust for the rocket to get airborne and go anywhere.

What is the energy of rocket fuel?
enough
How does a firework rocket work?
propellant (gun Powder) burns quickly and produces gasses that expand through a small opening causing motion in the opposite direction (newtonian law)
What is the definition of fin on a rocket?
The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
How does Newton's Third law apply to bottle rockets?
The rocket's propellant shoots out of one of its ends. Newton said that every action (like rocket propellant shooting out) is accompanied by an equal (same force) but opposite re-action. So, if the propellant shoots out with a force of, say, 1,000 pounds, then the rocket is pushed in the opposite direction (forward, we hope) by 1,000 pounds. It works! Try standing on one tiptoe while holding a weight of 5 or 10 pounds out to your side. Move the weight quickly sideways across your body and you will find your body moving (twisting because of that toe on the floor) in the opposite direction.
How does a rocket function?
A rocket functions by burning an internal fuel source as a propellant. The thrust is then pushed through a nozzle to increase performance.
What does Burn Time for a rocket mean?
The length of time from ignition of propellant to when all propellant has been consumed.
One of the first propellant were used how on a rocket?

A rocket lifts off by pushing down on the ground which then pushes the rocket up?
The propellant
What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?
burning fuel (rocket propellant)
Who made and tested the world's first liquid propellant rocket?
ROBERT HUTCHING GODDARDOn 6th March 1926 he got succeeded in launching its first liquid propellant rocket.
What is inside a rocket?
Usually propellant, oxidizer and some form of payload.
What is a hybrid Rocket propellant?
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
Who designed the world's first successful liquid propellant rocket?
Robert Goddard
What are the three basic parts of a rocket?
Igniter, Motor Case, Nozzle, Insulation and Propellant
How far can a bottle rocket go?
1/3 of water and sone grounded up orange peels
Who built the world's first liquid propellant rocket?
Mr. Tim Mc Grath from Pakistan
