Yes they are equal because they are both forces and when the thrust of planes (for example) are high in the air, the thrust pulls the plane forward. While the friction force pushes the plane forward. Think of it as someone pushing you towards something that you don't want to go into, that is the same as thrust and friction forces because the thrust is pushing you forward and the friction force is the balance of it all.

Why is friction an important force?
friction is an important force to have in life because friction helps objects that move or roll stop. Like brakes on a car, when you push down on the brakes the friction is there when the wheels stop,and the car will stop to.
Thrust bearing used in most radial engines?
Yes it is. They use deep groove bearings in most radial engines. These types best for reducing friction while carrying both thrust and radial loads
Why IP turbine rolling is done but not HP rolling?
Turbine maintain very good thrust force balance in IP rolling and high pressure and temp is not required in this.
Which gear type does not have axial thrust?
herring bone gear (Double helical ) doesn't axial thrust
What effect does altitude have on engine thrust at a constant rpm?
Thrust would drop as altitude goes up.
Is friction and upthrust are equal to thrust the cyclist moving at the terminal velocity?

How is thrust different from force?
there is not much difference between thrust anf force...its just that thrust is the force acting perpendiclular to the surface thrust will always be either equal or greater than force.
What is the Force engine provides the wheels of the car equation?
Thrust or friction
When an object is pulled on a level surface at a constant velocity what force is the pulling force equal to?
If there is no friction or anything that can impede the movement off the object, then the force is zero. If there is friction, then the force is equal to that of the friction.
How is force and friction related?
The Force of friction is equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force. Since normal force is equal to mass times the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s2), the force of friction is directly proportional to the mass.
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.
What is friction and what is meant by maximum friction?
Friction is a force that opposes motion. Maximum friction is the?æ force that must be overcome in order for a body to start moving.?æ Maximum friction is equal to the?æ product of normal force and coefficient of the friction.
Is there a force that can go against friction?
No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.
What is required to get a stationary object moving?
An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).
Why is reading on the spring scale equal to the friction force in each case?
because the spring scale measures friction..therefore the measure (from the spring scale) is equal to the force needed to do something
How many force are there?
3300 salamander
Friction is an example of a force?
yes it is, this refers to the force being created by the moving object (in perspectives-) a car which travels down the road has thrust in order to propel itself forward however there is also friction force with OPPOSES motion of the object, thus friction is regarded as a force, also support force (from the ground) or gravitational force is an equally right choice in terms of common forces. Therefore your statement/question in regards to friction being a force is true.
