ABSTRACT

It is now known from basic physics that force and motion are strictly connected and are, by nature, inseparable. This is not an obvious fact; it has taken almost two millennia of civilized human history and the effort of many great minds to understand. At present, it is the starting point of almost every branch of known physics and engineering. One of these branches is dynamics: the study that relates the motion of physical bodies to the forces acting on them. Within certain limitations, this is the realm of Newton’s laws, in the framework of the theory that is generally referred to as classical physics.
