A projectile has no motor/rocket on it, so all of its momentum is given to it as it is launched. An example of a projectile would be pen that you throw accross a room. A rocket or missile does have a motor/rocket on it so it can accelerate itself while moving and so resist other forces such as gravity. answer

in mechanics point of view projectile dont have any particular shape it is a point mass. whereas rocket has a particular shpe and hence it has center of gravity situated at particular point on its body.Therefore rocket motion comes under kinetics and projectile comes under kinematics

What can a force do to a rocket that is moving at steay speed?

A force can change the direction of the rocket's motion but not its speed if the force is applied perpendicular to the rocket's velocity. If the force is applied in the same direction as the rocket's motion, it can accelerate or decelerate the rocket.

When does a rocket have a unbalance force?

A rocket experiences an unbalanced force when there is a difference between the thrust produced by the rocket engines and the resistive forces acting on the rocket, such as air resistance or gravity. This unbalanced force causes the rocket to accelerate in the direction of the net force.
