- Dynamics studies the causes of motion rather than just describing motion like kinematics. There are four fundamental forces - gravitation, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Forces can be applied, thrust, weight, normal, elastic, tension, friction, air resistance, electric, or magnetic.
- Newton's three laws of motion are: 1) An object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2) The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, inversely proportional to the mass of the object. 3)
