IN BRIEF Two approaches to physics: Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics Classical Mechanics: motion of macroscopic bodies (laws of Newton) Quantum Mechanics: study of subatomic particles and their behaviors. Importance of energy quantization in quantum mechanics. Orbitals: description of the electron cloud and the probability of presence of a particle. Convergence between the two mechanics … Read more
IN BRIEF Classical mechanics: study of the movements and forces of bodies Applications in various fields: physics, chemistry, mechanics, and engineering Importance of Newton’s laws in the design of devices Role in modeling machines and robots Historical foundations: from Galileo to Newton Use in statics and dynamics Analysis of material systems subjected to multiple forces … Read more
IN BRIEF First law: Law of inertia, an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues at constant speed. Second law: Relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (F = ma). Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s laws are the foundations of classical mechanics. Applications: … Read more
