After stages break away from a rocket, they typically enter a controlled descent or are guided to a designated area for recovery, depending on the mission design. The spent stages may fall back to Earth, burn up in the atmosphere, or land in the ocean. In some cases, like with SpaceX's Falcon 9, the stages are designed to return to a landing site for refurbishment and reuse. Meanwhile, the remaining stages continue to propel the payload into orbit or on its trajectory.

What happens to the rocket when it breaks away from the shuttle?
About 200 seconds after the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) break away from the NASA space shuttle parachutes are deployed at 15,000 feet and they land in the ocean. The SRBs usually land 140 miles off the coast of Florida where they float and are recovered by NASA. Once they are recovered they are refurbished and used on several other shuttle launches.
Which rocket is used to launch the space shuttle?
Space shuttle generally launches itself with just a boost from two solid rocket boosters(SRBs) that are dropped soon after start. The element that gives the appearance of big rocket is actually an external fuel tank.
How much force does it take to break away from earths gravity?
To break away from Earth's gravity and reach space, an object needs to reach an escape velocity of about 11.2 kilometers per second (about 25,000 mph). The force required to achieve this velocity is enormous and depends on the mass of the object. For example, a spacecraft with humans onboard would need powerful rockets to generate enough force to break free from Earth's gravity.
What happens to a rocket when each stage uses up its fuel?
Well, honey, when each stage of a rocket uses up its fuel, it's like saying goodbye to an ex - it's time to let go and move on. The empty stage is jettisoned (aka thrown away) to lighten the load and allow the next stage to take over. Think of it as shedding some dead weight to keep the rocket flying high towards its destination.
Where does the rocket go when it is in space?
Like any other satellite, including the Moon, it stays up by centripetal force. Like a weight being whirled around your head on a string it would fly off in straight line if the force holding it in were to disappear. With the weight, this force is the tug of the string. With the space station it's gravity. The speed of the space station is just sufficient to keep it from falling to Earth, but also not so great that it would fly off into space. If the speed of the space station were to drop, it would fall to Earth.
What happens to the second and third stages when they run out of fuel?
When the second and third stages of a rocket run out of fuel, they typically become inert and are jettisoned or fall away from the vehicle, depending on the mission design. This separation allows the remaining stages to continue their flight trajectory without the added weight of the empty stages. In some cases, the stages may re-enter the atmosphere and burn up, or they may enter a stable orbit as space debris. Ultimately, the rocket's payload is then propelled by the remaining active stage(s) to reach its intended destination.
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.
What happens to the second stage when the first stages uses up it's fuel?
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.
How does a rocket accelerate away from earth?
A rocket accelerates away from Earth by using propellant combustion in its engines to produce thrust. By expelling exhaust gases at high speeds, the rocket follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, propelling the rocket upward. The combination of thrust overcoming the force of gravity enables the rocket to accelerate and eventually break free from Earth's gravity.
What happens to the second when the first stage uses up its fuel?

2 What happens to pearls if you put them in vinegar?
it will break and dissolve and float away.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?
The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.
Who built a rocket for war?
the first rocket was made by the Chinese. Of course this the first rocket. They used it to scare their enemies away hope this helps. =]
