propulsion mechanics

Propulsion mechanics involve generating force to move an object forward. In vehicles like rockets, this is achieved by ejecting mass (like hot gases) at high speed in the opposite direction, following Newton’s third law: for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. In airplanes, engines produce thrust by pushing air backward, creating forward movement. Ships use propellers rotating to push water behind them, propelling the vessel forward. Essentially, propulsion systems convert energy into directed force, overcoming resistance and enabling movement through air, water, or space.
