Dynamics

Particles and Bodies in 2D motion

Dynamics

Dynamics is a branch of mechanics that studies the motion of bodies under the influence of forces. It explores how forces and torques cause acceleration and changes in the state of motion. By applying principles such as Newton's second law and concepts like work-energy and impulse-momentum, this section demonstrates how to analyze and solve problems involving moving objects and systems, which is essential for designing mechanisms, vehicles, and other engineering applications that involve motion.
