What is Mechanics?
Mechanics is the foundation of physics—it explains how things move, why they move, and what causes changes in motion. From a rolling ball to orbiting planets, mechanics provides the framework to understand these phenomena. It's essential for engineering, astronomy, and almost every field that applies physics to the real world.
In this area, you'll explore kinematics (describing motion), dynamics (understanding forces), energy, heat, pressure, and simple machines. These interconnected topics build a complete picture of how the physical world works.
