What are two factors that can affect speed?
Thrust and friction in the environment. Ignoring friction, the two chief factors are the force of acceleration and mass, which determines how much force is required to achieve a given speed (more technically the change of velocity: speed in a given direction).
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.
Is thrust the same thing as force?
Thrust is the force that pushes something (typically a rocket) forward. The term force is more general; there are many kinds of force.
Affect of aerodynamics on speed of a car?
Ground effects term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce(downwards thrust created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a car. The purpose of downforce is to allow a car to travel faster through a corner by increasing the vertical force on the tires, thus creating more grip.),
What object makes objects float?
Buoyancy. Upthrust is not a word; however, buoyancy can be described incorrectly as an upwards thrust. More so buoyancy is a force or action. Not a thrust of any kind.
Why can a rocket produce more thrust in the vacuum of space than on earth?
Well I'm not sure about an increase in thrust but the reason why it can reach a higher speed is from the lack of air friction.
What happens to the speed of a car when there is a greater thrust from the engine?
ahm well you wouldn't measure it in 'thrust', more like 'power' or 'torque', but the car should be able to accelerate faster, and top speed would probably be higher that depends though, if the top speed is already limited by the gearing then no, top speed will stay the same
How does thrust increase lift?
Thrust is created most commonly by engines. Air will flow through an engine and then have oil or fuel mix with the air. The mix of air and fuel will exit out the back of the engine, in the opposite directino of flight.
How are horsepower and thrust related in a jet aircraft?
The more horsepower you have, the more thrust you will be able to produce. The more horsepower you have, the more thrust you will be able to produce.
How can you gain more bat speed?
Try just swinging it with more thrust in the hips and getting your arms around more effectively, practice daily even if you're not hitting a ball, but DO NOT use a doughnut if you want speed it will actually just slow you down.
What is gross thrust in a turbine engine verses net thrust?
Hi there, Gross thrust is the reaction of the momentum of the jet stream produced in a gas turbine engine.If you don't know net thrust,let me tell you.Net thrust is the resultant force acting on the aircraft.Net thrust=Gross thrust-Momentum(Intake)Drag.Don't go deep in momentum drag.When the aircraft with turbine engine,is moving...Gross Thrust is more than net thrust.and when the engine is at the rest,gross thrust=net thrust.Hope you got the answer.....Good luck in your future.

Gross thrust, means the thrust when there is not forward momentum of the jet. However, the jet has always the forward speed. When we consider this, we can calculate the net thrust as the gross thrust minus the forward momentum.

Do ships have brakes?
They are not brakes like what are in a car, but they do have ways to slow down or stop. In larger ships, reverse thrust is a more common way to decrease speed when underway.
How to Convert static thrust to horse power?
First we need to know how you are measuring each. You need to define the type of measuring stick.if i ask for a board 3 long, what will you bring me?A board 3 feet, 3 inches, 3 yards or 3 cm long? Take for instance:Iif thrust is 100 foot pound-force/secondthen it is equal to0.184339933 horsepower metric. But if thrust is 100 newton meter/secondthen it is equal to0.135962162 horsepower metric. Your question requires greater detail. Hope this helps Terry
What is change in speed?
Change in speed (more precisely change in velocity) is called acceleration.
How drag and thrust can be equal?
The thrust is the force moving something forward. The drag is air resistance applying force in the other direction. Drag will increase when an object moves faster because it will hit more molecules (of air, water, whatever) per second. If you apply constant thrust (force) to an object in air (for example an airplane) it will accelerate until the drag is equal to the thrust at which point it stops accelerating but keeps going at the same speed.
