    Kinetics

    The branch of dynamics focusing on causes of linear motion, based on Newton's laws.

    Newton's First Law

    An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues at constant velocity if no net external forces act on it.

    Static Equilibrium

    A condition where all external forces acting on an object sum to zero, maintaining it at rest.

    Newton's Second Law

    The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (ΣF = ma).
