Study Notes
Classical Mechanics Focus
- Focuses on the motion of objects and their interaction with forces.
Newton's Laws
- Newton's Laws of Motion are fundamental in understanding forces.
Kinematics
- Refers to the description of motion without considering the forces that cause it.
###Â Mass
- Represents the amount of matter an object contains and its resistance to acceleration.
Inertia
- An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force.
