Study of physical motion, interactions and their dynamical laws. Classical mechanics and quantum mechanics give different descriptions within this broad subject.
Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of motion, forces, and the behavior of physical objects. It provides a framework for understanding how and why objects move or remain at rest, and it encompasses a variety of concepts and theories. The field of mechanics can be broadly divided into two main categories: 1. **Classical Mechanics**: This area focuses on the motion of macroscopic objects (from projectiles to planets) and is governed by classical physics principles.
This section is more precisely about classical mechanics.
