The combustion of rocket fuel ejects a mass of material at high velocity. In accordance with Newton's third law, the momentum of the ejecta generates an equal and opposite reaction - which propels the rocket forward.

Why does a rocket accelerate upwards?
A rocket accellerates in whatever direction it's pointed. Another way to put this is to say that a rocket accelerates in the opposite direction of its engine exhaust. See Newton's 2nd law of motion.
When will your balloon car will have an unbalanced force on it?
When it accelerates
What happens when force is applied to an object?
When a force is applied to an object, it accelerates. for example, if you push an object, the object accelerates away from you and, eventually, will move away from you..
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
What happens to the force after it accelerates an object?
I can say that a force is the ONLY thing that can accelerate an object.
What is the force that accelerates a rocket?
Thrust.
How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lifts off?
As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.-information from Prentice Hall, Science Explorer: Physical Science

When an object ids dropped from a height it accelerates when it fall down name the force which accelerates the object?
That is called gravity.
What kind of newtons law of motion is illustrated if the force that accelerates a rocket into outer space is exerted on the rocket by the exhaust gases?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law of motion)..
What force acts on a space shuttle when it accelerates?
Presumably the most important force on an accelerating space shuttle is the force of the rocket engines (thrusters). Certainly other forces are present, including gravity and air friction.
Why a force acting on a body is called a sliding vector?
maybe: the force continues to be applied, even as the object accelerates
The reaction force that propels a rocket forward is called?
Thrust ... [ :
Describe How newtons third law of motion relates to the movement of rockets?
The products of the burning fuel are ejected from the rocket at high velocity. In accordance with Newton 's Third Law, this action generates an equal and opposite reaction on the rocket. The forward forward force acting on the rocket accelerates it.
As the rocket is moving through the Earths atmosphere another force acts against the thrust from the shuttles engines. What is this force called?
Reaction force that is equal and opposite to thrust force from the rocket's engine.
