Classical Mechanics flashcards are study tools designed to help students learn and memorize key concepts related to the subject of Classical Mechanics.
Classical Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. It is based on the laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.

quick facts
Classical Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces that cause this motion.
One of the key principles in Classical Mechanics is Newton’s Laws of Motion, which describe how objects move when a force is applied to them.
Classical Mechanics is based on the work of scientists like Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei, who laid the foundation for understanding how the physical world works.
In Classical Mechanics, the concept of energy is important – energy can be either kinetic (energy of motion) or potential (stored energy).
Classical Mechanics is still used today to understand the motion of everyday objects, from cars on the road to planets in space.

Kinematics
The study of motion.
Dynamics
The study of forces and motion.
Force
Force: A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.
Mass
Mass: The amount of matter in an object.
Acceleration
Acceleration is how quickly something speeds up or slows down.
Velocity
Velocity: Speed in a certain direction.
Momentum
Momentum: The force or speed of an object in motion.
Energy
The ability to do work or cause change.
Work
Work: The amount of force applied to move an object over a distance.
Power
Power: The ability to do work or cause change.
Potential energy
Stored energy that an object has because of its position or condition.
Kinetic energy
Energy that an object has because it is moving.
Conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Newton’s laws of motion
Newton’s laws of motion: Rules that describe how objects move when a force acts on them.
Equilibrium
Equilibrium: a state of balance or stability in a system.
Inertia
Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
Friction
Friction: The force that resists the motion of objects sliding against each other.
Tension
Tension: The force that stretches or pulls something tight.
Torque
Torque – a twisting force that causes rotation.
Angular momentum
Angular momentum is the measure of how fast an object is spinning or rotating.
