spacecraft at the top of the rocket
I think in the payload.
The greater the mass of the payload, the more fuel (and more money) it requires to get it into orbit.

The payload's weight
Yes it does; depending on the wind changing. Sometimes a payload will slow it down and sometimes it will guide the rocket in the correct direction giving accuracy and distance.
The payload's weight, and the weight of the rocket itself.
The payload of a rocket is usually located in the nose cone.
Usually propellant, oxidizer and some form of payload.
The V2 rocket, considered the forerunner of all space capable rockets, only had a payload capacity of 2,200 pounds. The Saturn 5 rocket that sent men to the moon had a payload capacity of 260,000 lbs.
You would need a very powerful motor for a one pound payload. -At least an 'F' series.
