Thrust is the force that pushes something (typically a rocket) forward. The term force is more general; there are many kinds of force.

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.


Are buoyancy and up thrust the same?

Buoyancy and upthrust are related but not the same. Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float in a fluid, while upthrust is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object placed within it. Upthrust is a component of the total buoyant force acting on an object.


Is thrust scalar or vector?

Thrust is a force and a force is a vector quantity having a magnitude and direction

Is thrust a pushing or pulling force?

Thrust is a pushing force. It is the force that propels an object forward in the direction it is moving.


Is thrust the same as tension force?

no..normal force is exists if only if the object is contact with the surface.But tension is exists when the object is hanged with string..But the magnitude might same as we consider weight of the object.When we solve the resultant force by resolve the vertical axis,the resultant force will be the value of normal force and tension.In general they may same but in some situation they might different.


Is upward thrust the same as normal force?

No. Upward means... well, upward. "Normal" in this context means "perpendicular" or "at a right angle" - i.e., at a right angle to some surface you are considering. This may happen to be upward as well, but it can be just about any direction.


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.

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.
