if a rocket has 50kg dry mass, 50kg fuel mass and 1,980N thrust, then it will accelerate at 10m/s²(neglecting drag) since fuel is being consumed, the acceleration will change over time and i need to know the displacement of the rocket from the launchpad or at least its velocity after fuel is fully consumed
how to get displacement with non constant acceleration because of fuel mass change

that should be the delta V rating - showing the total change in velocity (figuring in the change in mass from burned fuel) - it doesnt account for air resistance, and can only be accurate for a specific air density (nozzle type will affect that)
