Thrust
is what propels and pushes an object forward. An example of thrust is an engine, it pushes an object forward. Drag is the opposite,
pushing the object in the opposite direction of motion. Drag could be thought of friction. For example, when you are in a car and you stick your head out of the window you'll feel the drag that the care is creating. The two forces
work against each other, but they overcome each other which changes the
motion of the object. For example, in our video we featured a Frisbee,
when throw into the air, there is thrust that pushes to Frisbee forward,
but there is also drag that pushes the Frisbee in the opposite
direction, making it slow down and eventually stop. Thrust and drag are
essential to how things move, working in opposite ways, they help each
determine an object’s motion.-Karlee
