  2. Moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine

    These form push moraines and thrust-block moraines, which are often composed of till and reworked proglacial sediment. [10] Moraine may also form by the accumulation of sand and gravel deposits from glacial streams emanating from the ice margin. These fan deposits may coalesce to form a long moraine bank marking the ice margin. [11]

    From en garde, push the front heel out by extending the front leg from the knee. Do not bend the front ankle, or lift up on the ball of the front foot. This means that the front foot must move forward prior to the body weight shifting forward. As the front leg extends, energetically push erect body forward with the rear leg.

  4. Gas turbine engine thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_thrust

    As an example, an early turbojet, the Bristol Olympus Mk. 101, had a momentum thrust of 9300 lb. and a pressure thrust of 1800 lb. giving a total of 11,100 lb. [1] Looking inside the "black box" shows that the thrust results from all the unbalanced momentum and pressure forces created within the engine itself. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-pull_configuration

    The earliest known examples of "push-pull" engined-layout aircraft was the Short Tandem Twin.. An early pre-World War I example of a "push-pull" aircraft was the Caproni Ca.1 of 1914 which had two wing-mounted tractor propellers and one centre-mounted pusher propeller.

  6. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    Propeller walk (also known as propeller effect, wheeling effect, paddle wheel effect, asymmetric thrust, asymmetric blade effect, transverse thrust, prop walk) is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about a vertical axis (also known as yaw motion). The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.

  8. Front crawl - Wikipedia

    The push pushes the palm backward through the water underneath the body at the beginning and at the side of the body at the end of the push. This pull and push is also known as the S-curve. Note: more recent technical guidance discourages this S-curve pattern and assert that a straight 'push' path at shoulder width is optimal.

  9. Push moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_moraine

    A push moraine or pushed moraine is in geomorphology a moraine (a landform formed by glacial processes) that forms when the terminus advance of a lowland glacier pushes unstratified glacial sediment into a pile or linear ridge in front of it. A push moraine is identified by its ability to push sediment upwards from its original horizontal position.
