thrust
Thrust is like when you push a toy car with your hand and it zooms forward. The harder you push, the faster it goes! This pushing force is what we call thrust. It’s like when you blow up a balloon and let it go, it flies around because the air is pushing it out, making it move. This is thrust in action!
Imagine you’re on a swing. When someone pushes you, you go higher and higher. The push is like thrust, helping you move. In the same way, rockets use thrust to fly into space. They have engines that push really hard to lift them off the ground.
Think about a rubber band. When you stretch it and let go, it snaps back quickly. This quick movement is like thrust. It’s a force that makes things move fast. In airplanes, engines provide thrust to help them fly through the sky. Without thrust, planes would just sit still like a toy car with no push.
