- A propelling force
- (propulsive) having the power to propel; "propulsive coefficient"
- (Propulsive) A gastroprokinetic agent, gastrokinetic, or prokinetic, is a type of drug which enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the frequency of contractions in the small intestine or making them stronger, but without disrupting their rhythm. ...
- Force causing movement
- This is the force that drives the swimmer forward and is created by the swimmer's arms and legs.
- Research into advanced in-space propulsion systems and non-conventional systems for access to orbit and to space in general.
- The act of moving an object and maintaining its motion.
- The action of a marine propeller consists fundamentally of the sternward projection of a column of water termed the propeller race; the change of momentum per unit time of this water is equal to the thrust of the propeller, which during steady motion is balanced by the resistance of the ship.
- Spacecraft may or may not have a propulsion subsystem, depending upon whether or not the mission profile calls for propulsion. The Swift spacecraft is an example of a spacecraft that does not have a propulsion subsystem. ...
