How can a plane fly using 3rd law of motion?
A plane flies using equal and opposite actions by overcoming gravity with lift and drag with thrust.
The rotor blade on the side of the helicopter that moving in the opposite direction?
The tail rotor is moving "perpendicular" to the main rotor, not "opposite". The tail rotor creates thrust opposite to the thrust of the main rotor, to keep the fuselage from spinning. Most helicopters spin the main rotor counter-clockwise looking from above, which puts a clockwise rotation on the fuselage. You need a tail rotor pushing the tail counter-clockwise to keep the fuselage pointed in the direction the pilot chooses.
When you are in an aeroplane does lift act in the opposite direction to friction?
Lift does not act opposite to friction. Lift opposes weight and friction(air resistance) opposes thrust from the engine. This is all equally true whether or not you happen to be aboard the aircraft.
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.
How much is 33000 pound of thrust?
33,000 pounds of thrust.
A force that works in the opposite direction of travel?
Thrust.
What is the forward thrust for an airplane?
A fixed wing aircraft generates forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction opposite to flight. It is proportional to the mass of the airstream.
What is the relationship between the 4 forces of flight?
Lift is opposite of weight Thrust is opposite drag. When lift >weight plane climbs. If lift < weight you best find a place to land. If thrust> drag you accelerate. If drag>thrust you slow down. High and fast are your friends. Low and slow are out to kill you.
If a rocket's thrust equals weight of rocket will the rocket maintain a fixed height?
If and only if all of the thrust is in the opposite direction of the gravity vector ("straight down"). If any of the thrust has horizontal component, it will travel a distance but lose height.
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 airplane thrust?
Thrust is analogous (same as) to throttle or speed. An increase in thrust would basically be speeding up. A decrease would be the opposite. It is controlled in most commericial aircraft by a lever in the middle of the flight deck. IT is measured in percent-N1. this is all false information!
What is tail rotor thrust?
Tail rotor thrust is simple the sidewards force provided by the tail rotor. This is required to offset the gyroscopic motion created by the main rotor. When the main rotor spins it creates toque in the opposite direction. The result, without a tail rotor, would be the main body of the helicopter spinning around in the opposite direction uncontrollably. The tail rotor simply provide thrust in the opposite direction to this toque and thus allows the main body of the helicopter to remain stationary. The blades of both the main rotor and the tail rotor spin at the same revs. The pilot adjusts the pedals at his feet to change the amount of sidewards thrust thrust allowing him to control his lateral movement.
Is thrust the upward force the opposes the force of gravity?
Actually thrust is aerodynamically involved, its the driving force that accelerates the aircrafts in forward direction and the opposite force is drag. The opposing force against gravity in a flight is lift.
Which of newtons laws involves thrust?
E=mc2 ...lol no it's the 3rd one which states every action has an equal and opposite reaction

How rocket engines work?
A rocket engine is a reaction engine as the fuel is burnt the thrust created pushes the rocket forward. Newton's 1st law in action; for every reaction there is a equal and opposite reaction.
