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.
If drag and thrust are equal, a flying device will stop ACCELERATING, that is it will maintain a constant speed.From classical Newtonian physics:Force = mass x accelerationSince drag and thrust are forces, we have:Thrust - drag = mass x accelerationSince you say that drag and thrust are equal, and the mass of a flying object is some finite value, it turns out that the acceleration = 0, i.e. a constant speed
When thrust and drag are equal, the plane's speed remains constant. The forces are balanced, and the plane will maintain its current velocity without accelerating or decelerating. This state is known as "steady level flight."
When the thrust force is equal to the drag force, the object will maintain a constant velocity (assuming no other forces are acting on it). This state is known as dynamic equilibrium, where the forces are balanced and there is no acceleration.
The car (or plane/whatever else it is) accelerates. This means that it gains speed
The lift, drag, thrust, and weight formula used in aviation is a way to calculate the forces acting on an aircraft during flight. It states that lift must equal weight and thrust must equal drag for the aircraft to maintain level flight.
Ths is a good question but the opposite of thrust is drag.
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Thrust is the force produced by an engine to propel an object forward. To overcome drag, an object must generate enough thrust to balance out the drag acting in the opposite direction. By increasing thrust or reducing drag, an object can achieve a higher speed or maintain steady motion in the presence of drag forces.
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
Thrust is the force that counteracts drag. Thrust is generated by engines, propellers, or other propulsion systems to overcome the resistance caused by drag and move an object forward.
yes
it has a shape on its wing called airfoil search it up it combined forces of thrust weight drag and lift must be equal.
