Thrust Calculator
Thrust is defined as the total force generated by the exhaust of burning fuel in a rocket. It is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction to be applied to that system.

- V is the velocity
- Δm is the change in mass
- Δt is the change in time
To calculate thrust, multiply the velocity by the mass flow rate. The mass flow rate is the change in mass divided by change in time.
