Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-007068
The branch of classical mechanics concerned with the relationship between the motion of bodies and its causes, specifically forces and torques. It analyzes how forces acting on an object affect its acceleration and velocity. This field contrasts with kinematics, which describes motion without considering its causes.
