Classical Dynamics

Classical dynamics, particularly in rigid body mechanics, studies how solid objects move and interact under forces. It focuses on understanding the motion of bodies that do not deform, maintaining their size and shape. Key concepts include force, torque, and angular momentum, which help explain how and why objects rotate and translate. By applying Newton's laws of motion, we can predict how objects respond to applied forces, whether spinning, sliding, or colliding. This field is fundamental in engineering, robotics, and understanding natural phenomena related to motion and stability.
