2005-3-9 · A propeller accelerates a large volume of air by a small amount, whereas a jet engine accelerates a small volume of air by a large amount. This can be understood by Newton's 2nd law of motion which is summarized by the equation F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). Basically the force or thrust (F) is created by accelerating the mass of air (m ...
