What is Classical Mechanics?

Classical mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies. It is one of the oldest and largest subjects in science, engineering, and technology.

Classical mechanics describes the motion of objects under the influence of forces, using principles developed by scientists like Isaac Newton, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and William Rowan Hamilton. It provides the foundation for understanding how physical systems behave under various conditions.

Key concepts in classical mechanics include forces, energy, momentum, angular momentum, and the relationships between these quantities. These principles form the basis for more advanced studies in physics and engineering.
