Thrust

Thrust curve for an Estes A10-PT rocket motor. A thrust curve shows how much thrust (in newtons) the motor produces over time (in seconds). This also has information about the impulse, amount of fuel, and specific impulse

Thrust is a force or a push. When a system pushes or accelerates mass in one direction, there is a thrust (force) just as large in the opposite direction. In math and physics, this is described by Isaac Newton’s second and third laws. Thrust is used to describe how strongly an engine pushes. It can be used for many kinds of vehicles and engines such as rockets, motorboats, propellers, and jet engines.
