Study Notes
Branches of Physics
- Kinematics is the branch that describes the motion of objects without considering the causes behind that motion.
Relative Motion
- An object not in motion relative to a given frame of reference is described as being at rest.
Motion Change
- The term used for a continuous change in the position or configuration of a physical system in space is called motion.
Newton's Concepts
- The concept of absolute space, as proposed by Newton, is not determined according to modern physics, which emphasizes relative motion.
Dynamics
- Dynamics studies the forces and torques that cause motion, analyzing how these influences affect the motion of objects.
