Rigid body dynamics

Rigid body dynamics is the study of how solid objects move and interact when forces are applied, assuming that the object's shape does not change. It focuses on the motion and rotation of these bodies, analyzing factors like speed, direction, and the impact of forces like gravity or friction. This field is essential in various applications, from engineering and robotics to animation and video game design, helping us understand how to predict and control the movement of objects in both real and virtual environments.
