Thrust

Real World Example

Imagine trying to push a heavy shopping cart with a stuck wheel through the aisles of a grocery store. Just as you exert force to overcome the resistance and move the cart forward, an aircraft or rocket engine produces thrust to propel itself through the air. In both cases, the effort applied to move an object from one place to another is akin to the thrust, where your pushing force is like the engine's power, the cart is like the aircraft, and the friction from the wheel is similar to air resistance.
