Mechanics (from Ancient Greek μηχανική (mēkhanikḗ) 'of machines ') [1][2] is the area of physics concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects. [3] Forces applied to objects may result in displacements, which are changes of an object's position relative to its environment. Theoretical expositions of this branch of physics have their ...
Mechanics, branch of physics concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces, including the special case in which a body remains at rest. Historically, mechanics was among the first of the exact sciences to be developed. It may be divided into three branches: statics, kinematics, and kinetics.
Explore the core principles of classical mechanics. Learn how Newton's laws shape understanding and see their practical applications.
Mechanics (from the Greek term Μηχανική) is a branch of physics involving study of the movement of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. This discipline, which has its roots in several ancient civilizations, is now subdivided into two main branches: classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. During the ...
