    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.

    ### 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.
