Exhaust Velocity

T' speed o' t' gases ejected from t' motor nozzle. Arrr! Blimey! Exhaust velocity is an important consideration in motor design because, shiver me timbers, accordin' t' Newton's third law o' Motion, me hearties, t' thrust o' t' motor is at least partially dependent on t' velocity o' t' motor's exhaust.
