Synopsis

This book introduces the reader to dynamics, a field of physics that deals with the relationship between forces and motion. The author starts with the basic concepts of kinematics, which describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion, and then moves on to the three laws of motion formulated by Isaac Newton. These laws explain how forces acting on an object affect its motion, and form the foundation of classical mechanics. The book provides a detailed exploration of these laws, along with examples and applications. The author also discusses the concept of energy, which is closely related to the laws of motion. The book is clearly written and accessible to readers with a basic understanding of algebra and geometry, making it an excellent introduction to dynamics for students of physics and engineering.
