What is the difference between thrust and weight?
force applies perpendicularly is called thrust force which earths exerts on objests is weight
What is the source of the force of thrust for an airplane?
An engine is the usual source of thrust in an aircraft.
Is the upward force on a airplane wing a thrust?
No. We call the upward component of force "lift"."Thrust" is the component of force forward ... the direction the plane's nose points.
What force does a rocket exert?
thrust
Is thrust a pushing or pulling force?
pulling
What provides the force for thrust?
The engine provides force for thrust.
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.
Is the thrust force equal to friction force?
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.
Is thrust scalar or vector?
Thrust is a force and a force is a vector quantity having a magnitude and direction
What is the difference between thrust and pressure-?
what is the difference between thrust and pressure?
What is the unit of thrust?
The unit of thrust is the same as the unit of force - in S.I. units that is the 'newton'. In the English system of measurement pounds-force was common. In S.I. units for very small quantities of force, dynes are used.
What is a force forward?
Thrust
What is force of lift and thrust?
Lift is the force that acts upwards, perpendicular to the chord of the wing. Thrust is the force acting perpendicular to the propeller disc.
Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?
Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.
Is thrust the force non-contact or contact?
Thrust is a contact force as it needs a force to push it,when you are in a plane,upthrust is in contact with you to keep you up in the sky.
Is thrust a balanced force?
There's no such thing as "a balanced force". A GROUP of two or more forces is balanced if the vector sum of all the forces in the group is zero.
What is the difference between thrust and weight?
force applies perpendicularly is called thrust force which earths exerts on objests is weight
