In the first few minutes of launch, big hunks of frost fall off. Later, when the rocket is near the top of the atmosphere, the large first stage of the rocket motor detaches by its explosive mounting bolts blowing themselves to bits. Later, the intermediate stage detaches in a similar manner.
Yes, typically rockets have stages that separate and fall off as the rocket ascends into space. This process, known as staging, allows the rocket to shed excess weight and continue on its trajectory with optimal efficiency.

Typically, the rocket stages that break off during launch are the boosters and any additional stages needed to reach orbit. The specific number of stages can vary depending on the rocket design and the mission requirements.
Usually nothing deliberately falls off a rocket right at liftoff. However most rockets are attached to the launchpad by metal tie down brackets, when the engines have reached full power explosive bolts separate the rocket from these brackets allowing it to leave the launchpad. Multistage rockets allow expended boosters and/or stages to fall off, but this does not happen at liftoff, it typically happens several minutes after liftoff.
Yes, the booster rockets. This usually happens after their fuel has been spent, and they merely drop back to earth and land in the ocean where they are retrieved and used again for another flight.

Rockets have potential energy because they store chemical energy in their fuel, which is converted into kinetic energy as the rocket propels forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled out of the rocket, it pushes against the ground or atmosphere, causing the rocket to move and lift off the ground.
The single-stage rocket can get the payload off earth, but not into space, because there is not enough fuel, and the weight eventually becomes too great. So at some point, the rocket will fall back down to earth. For this reason, most single-stage rockets are missiles.

Yes. There's Rocket Blast Off and Rocket Re-Entry.

To launch the rocket off the ground and make it go fast.
The first thing that decreases when the rocket takes off the ground is the hybrid fuel in the large tanks attached with it. As it takes off and approaches to the outer atmospheric line the tanks attached are detached and then the boosters come off from the rockets. Thus it decreases the number of accessory parts after the take off.

Italy did not use rocket missile or rocket-powered aircraft in World War II. They may well have fired off mortar shells which were and are essentially rockets- but so did most of the combatants. Italy had some neat submarines, but not rockets.
