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.
