Classical Mechanics

Classical mechanics is a branch of physics that investigates the motion of objects. It uses mathematical laws to predict how objects will move when different forces act upon them, whether it's a ball being thrown or a planet orbiting the Sun. This includes studying the object's speed, direction, and their changes. While it mostly applies to everyday-sized objects, it does not accurately predict behaviors on microscopic or cosmic scales. For that, we use quantum mechanics and relativity, respectively.
