Approximately, Msip, given a more-or-less flat trajectory
Your reference to force however, somewhat confusing

@MSIP,
No. On earth the force of the engine is required to overcome both weight and drag due to the atmosphere. Once in space, the engine is not be required to maintain speed since acquired momentum plus planetary gravitational forces are sufficient.
You need to learn about Newton's Laws of Motion. 'Fire' is irrelevant except as an aspect of energy expenditure. Try googling 'Newton' to help this schoolwork.
There is negligible relationship between 'gravity' and 'fire' because gravity is a much weaker force than the forces involved in the movements of molecules in hot gases. You are wasting your time with this question.
