This chapter contains the most important relationships and associated formulas of classical mechanics. First, there is an introduction to kinematics, in which key concepts such as velocity and acceleration are defined using idealized bodies and explained in more detail using examples of parabolas.
It then addresses dynamics, which deals with the cause of motion and includes the core concepts of force and momentum, also emphasizing a precise distinction between forces and fictitious forces.
This chapter also discusses the concept of energy and its conservation in detail. Topics such as torque and angular momentum are then explained using rigid bodies as examples. The properties of real bodies are introduced as well.
