propulsion mechanisms

Propulsion mechanisms are the systems and methods used to move objects, such as vehicles or spacecraft. In terrestrial vehicles like cars, engines burn fuel to create energy that turns wheels. In aircraft, jet engines expel fast-moving air to propel the craft forward. In space, rockets use thrusters that expel gas at high speeds to push against the vacuum, following Newton's Third Law of Motion. Each mechanism is designed to efficiently convert energy into movement, enabling transport across various environments, whether on land, in the air, or in space.
