 * __Rocket Launch__**

**Mass**
Mass is measured in kilograms. A rocket with more mass will not accelerate as quickly but will also not be as affected by [|drag].

**Thrust**
[|Thrust] is the upwards [|force]. The amount of thrust affects how much the rocket will speed up.

**Time of thrust**
If thrust acts for a longer time, the rocket will speed up more.

**Drag**
Drag is the opposing force of [|air resistance]. There is more drag at faster speeds.

**Mass change**
As the rocket [|fuel] reacts and is propelled from the rocket, the rocket becomes lighter
