  2. Thrust block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_block

    A thrust block, also known as a thrust box, is a specialised form of thrust bearing used in ships, to resist the thrust of the propeller shaft and transmit it to the hull. Early thrust boxes [ edit ]

  3. Orders of magnitude (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(force)

    Maximum force of a molecular motor [8] 10 −11 10 −10 ~160 pN Force to break a typical noncovalent bond [8] 10 −9 nanonewton (nN) ~1.6 nN Force to break a typical covalent bond [8] 10 −8 ~82nN Force on an electron in a hydrogen atom [1] 10 −7 ~200nN Force between two 1 meter long conductors, 1 meter apart by an outdated definition of ...

  4. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    In the first case the force is continuously applied to the car by a person, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse. Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components, one perpendicular to the surface(s) in contact called the normal force, and one parallel to the surface(s) in contact, called the friction ...

  5. Thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust

    Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction to be applied to that system. [ 2 ]

  6. Bolt thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust

    Bolt thrust or breech pressure is a term used in internal ballistics and firearms (whether small arms or artillery) that describes the amount of rearward force exerted by the propellant gases on the bolt or breech of a firearm action or breech when a projectile is fired. The applied force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector ...

  7. Energy–maneuverability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–maneuverability...

    Energy–maneuverability theory is a model of aircraft performance. It was developed by Col. John Boyd, a fighter pilot, and Thomas P. Christie, a mathematician with the United States Air Force, [1] and is useful in describing an aircraft's performance as the total of kinetic and potential energies or aircraft specific energy.

  8. Thrust (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_(disambiguation)

    Thrust is a reaction force described by Newton's Second and Third Laws. Thrust may also refer to: Thrust fault, in geology; Thrust block, a specialised form of thrust bearing used in ships; Thrust (particle physics), a quantity that characterizes the collision of high energy particles in a collider; Thrust bearing, particular type of rotary bearing

  9. Gas turbine engine thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_thrust

    The familiar study of jet aircraft treats jet thrust with a "black box" description which only looks at what goes into the jet engine, air and fuel, and what comes out, exhaust gas and an unbalanced force. This force, called thrust, is the sum of the momentum difference between entry and exit and any unbalanced pressure force between entry and ...
