Explain Force of Thrust Equation: 6N/3.48s

[physicnoob101]

Please Explain this?!

hey, ok so i was going tthrough my textbook and following some examples hwne i cam up to this:

Force of Thrust = Ft/ delta T

= 6N / 3.48s

=1.7 N

but it doesn't say what the equation means. can someone please help me and explain what is happeing.

A little more information regarding the problem would be helpful. However, how can one divide Newtons by time and wind up with Newtons?

Have you covered momentum yet? I don't remember how to calculate force of thrust without using momentum, so I hope this is helpful to you.

The equation for Force of Thrust I know, is
F(thrust) = ((m * V)2 - (m * V)1) / (t2 - t1)

This can also be written as
F(thrust) = Δp / Δt
Force of thrust = change in momentum / change in time

Which would give you
N = N*s/s
meaning your seconds would cancel to give the correct units.

the doth prevous questins are pretty good. But i don't understand why did u posted a quastion that is already answered.. If you don't understand it just read the 3-4 prevous pages of your book! That is not so difficult (sorry about my english and wrong words sometimes,,, ist because I am writing from my mobile)

Sure, I'd be happy to explain the force of thrust equation for you. This equation is used to calculate the amount of force that is generated by a thrusting force over a certain period of time. In this case, the equation is written as Ft/delta T, where Ft represents the thrusting force and delta T represents the time interval over which the force is applied.

In your example, the thrusting force is given as 6N and the time interval is 3.48 seconds. When we plug these values into the equation, we get a result of 1.7 N, which represents the amount of force generated by the thrust over the given time interval.

To better understand this equation, let's use an example. Imagine you are pushing a box with a force of 6N for 3.48 seconds. The force of thrust equation would tell you that the amount of force generated by your push is 1.7 N. This means that your push was able to generate a force of 1.7 N over the 3.48 second time interval.

This equation is commonly used in physics and engineering to calculate the force generated by various types of thrusting forces, such as rockets, jet engines, or even human muscles. It helps us understand the relationship between force and time, and how much force can be generated over a certain period.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the force of thrust equation better. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Keep up the good work in your studies!
