Question

Thrust is a ____quantity

(1) Scalar 

(2) Vector 

(3) Both Scalar & Vector 

(4) Neither Scalar nor Vector 

Answer 1

Correct option is (2) Vector

• Thrust is the force acting normally on a surface. 
• It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. 
• It is directed perpendicular to the surface. 
• The S.I. unit of thrust is newton (N).
• Thus, thrust is a vector quantity.
