Ch-03: Dynamics

Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the cause of motion by studying forces and their effects on bodies. While kinematics describes how objects move, dynamics explains why they move. This chapter introduces force, inertia, mass, weight, and momentum, along with Newton’s laws of motion, which form the foundation of classical mechanics. It also covers the relationship between force and acceleration, the concept of action and reaction, and the role of friction in motion. By learning dynamics, students understand how forces govern everyday movements and natural phenomena.
