Fundamentals of Mechanics Understanding the basic principles governing motion, force, and energy in physical systems.
What is Mechanics? Mechanics is the branch of physics that studies the behavior of physical bodies under the influence of forces or displacements.
Branches of Mechanics 1. Classical Mechanics 2. Quantum Mechanics 3. Relativistic Mechanics Each branch deals with motion and force at different scales and conditions.
Newton’s Laws of Motion 1. An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. 2. Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). 3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Work, Energy, and Power Work is done when a force causes displacement. Energy is the capacity to do work. Power is the rate at which work is done.
Applications of Mechanics Used in engineering design, automotive systems, robotics, aerospace, and biomechanics to predict motion and forces.
Conclusion Mechanics provides the foundation for understanding the physical world — from planetary motion to vehicle dynamics.
