potential chemical energy
The chemical potential energy of a rocket is typically converted into kinetic energy as the rocket moves through space. This kinetic energy results from the motion of the rocket and is responsible for propelling the rocket forward.
Rockets primarily use chemical energy stored in their propellants to generate thrust through the burning of fuel and oxidizer. The combustion of these propellants produces hot gases that are expelled out of the rocket nozzle, creating a reaction force that propels the rocket forward.
There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.
A car engine transforms chemical energy into kinetic energy. The petrol is combined with air in the engine and set alight in an explosion. the force of the expanding gasses caused by this ignition pushes a piston which in turn turns the drive shaft and hence the wheels around.
chemical potential energy (in the fuel being burned) to heat (thermal) energy and a little light energy.

it uses rocket fuel
Jet engines and rockets are different means of propulsion. A jet engine takes in air, compresses it and mixes it with vaporized fuel. The air fuel mixture is ignited and produces thrust out the rear of the engine. A rocket uses fuel wich is burned and produces thrust with no air intake. Rocket fuels can be solid, liquid or compressed gas.
