thrust is the ability to move a 1 pound object at 32 feet per second per second. What does per second per second mean? Does that mean for every second, the object has moved 64 feet in a given direction?
if air molecules are moved at 3200 feet per second per second to deliver 100 pounds of thrust, does that mean what ever device is producing the thrust(gas turbine engine) is moving the exhaust(air molecules) at 3200 feet per second per second? Thats a little over half a mile those air molecules are thrown if that is true.
Thanx
