Flashcards

What is Physics?

Study of matter, energy, and their interactions, aiming to understand the universe's fundamental laws.

What is Mechanics?

Deals with object's motion and forces, broken down into kinematics (motion description) and dynamics (motion causes).

Newton's First Law

Object stays at rest/motion unless acted upon.

Newton's Second Law

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).
