What are the branches of physics related to motion?
What are the branches of physics related to motion?
The branch describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics, while the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics.
Can absolute motion be determined according to modern physics?
Can absolute motion be determined according to modern physics?
No, modern physics holds that there is no absolute frame of reference, so Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined.
