Assuming constant acceleration, at a higher speed, the force must be applied over a larger distance to get the same change in speed. Since work = force x distance, it requires more work to get the same change in speed, once the rocket has a higher speed.


In the case of the rocket, the situation is not as simple as you put it. For example, all the fuel the rocket required to change the rocket's speed, say, from 1000 m/s to 1100 m/s, must be accelerated first, using more fuel at first. Also, the exhaust gases from the rocket have kinetic energy, which depend on the rocket's current speed - when it is just starting, the exhaust gases have a higher speed, and therefore more kinetic energy. To see whether energy is conserved or not, this kinetic energy would have to be included in your calculations.

Does the increase in heat result in an increase in pressure?

Yes, generally an increase in heat will result in an increase in pressure, assuming the volume remains constant. This is based on the ideal gas law, where pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume is constant.
