Thrust

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's Second and Third Law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction the accelerated mass will cause a proportional but opposite force on that system.

Mathematically this means that the total force experienced by a system accelerating a mass m, is equal and opposite to the mass m times the acceleration a experienced by that mass:

Force: In physics, a force is an external cause responsible for any change of a physical system. For instance, a person holding a dog by a rope is experiencing the force applied by the rope on his hand, and the cause for its pulling forward is the force exercised by the rope. The kinetic expression of th...

Mass: Mass is a property of physical objects that, roughly speaking, measures the amount of matter they contain. It is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects....
