The law of force and acceleration, described by Newton's second law (F = ma), applies to a rocket launch by illustrating how the force generated by rocket engines propels the vehicle upward. As the engines burn fuel, they produce a thrust force that must overcome the gravitational pull acting on the rocket. The resulting acceleration of the rocket is directly proportional to the net force (thrust minus weight) and inversely proportional to its mass. As fuel is consumed, the mass decreases, allowing for greater acceleration as the rocket ascends.
