This state is known as terminal velocity. In it's current shape, an object as described cannot travel any faster. The force of gravity is constant where as the force of air resistance increases with velocity so it takes time for an object to reach its terminal velocity.

When drag equals thrust, acceleration equals zero, so the object will continue at the same velocity.

In that case, the object won't budge.

What makes smaller airplanes go faster than bigger airplanes?

There are four factors that are exerted on airplanes. Thrust, Drag, Gravity and lift. Lift must be higher then gravity to make a plane go up. Thrust be be stronger then drag to make a plane go faster. As a plane becomes larger, more drag is added to the plane. This requires more thrust to maintain the same speed. So, as a plane gets larger the amount of power an engine must produce goes up drastically. Small planes with the same horsepower or thrust ratings will alays be able to go faster.


What is engine thrust?

Thrust is the amount of power generated by the engine.


What happens if thrust is greater than drag?

The car (or plane/whatever else it is) accelerates. This means that it gains speed


How much thrust does an airplane give?

The amount of thrust depends on the power of the engine


What happens in thrust faulting?

The hanging wall block slips downward along the thrust fault


Is thrust measured with newtons?

Yes. Any unit of force can be used to indicate the amount of thrust.


Why does thrust occur in model rockets?

Thrust happens when fuel is burnt in a sealed tube with a small orifice - basic science.


What are two ways to increase the amount of thrust a rocket produces?

If the mass flow rate through the rocketâ??s engine is increased, then the thrust will be higher. Another way to increase the thrust amount is to increase the exit or initial velocity during takeoff.


What is the total trust in gas turbin engine?

You must mean 'Thrust' . The thrust is the amount of power the jet engine supplies.

How do you use the word thrust in a sentence?

As a verb:He just thrust himself into the middle of a private conversation.As a noun:Attracting new customers is the thrust of the new advertising.The new jet engines produce a tremendous amount of thrust.


What is the cause of rib shortening in the two hinged arch bridge?

axial thrust acting on the arch causes rib shortening. the arch becomes deeper and hence reduces the horizontal thrust...
