💡 Key Idea

Dynamics: Why Objects Move

Forces don't just push — they change motion.

Dynamics studies motion *and* its causes. Unlike kinematics (which only describes motion), dynamics asks why an object accelerates.

↳ Dynamics links force → mass → acceleration to explain every motion.

📖 Definition

What Is a Force?

Force is a push or pull — with direction.

↳ Force is a vector — direction matters as much as size.

➗ Formula

Newton's Second Law

The master equation of dynamics.

Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.

↳ Same force, more mass → less acceleration.

Dynamics: Forces and Motion

Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that studies the motion of objects and the forces that cause it. It connects force, mass, and acceleration through Newton's laws, and explains how momentum and energy govern real-world…

  • Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that studies motion and its causes — force and mass.
  • Kinematics describes motion; dynamics explains why motion changes.
  • Newton's first law: an object stays at rest or in uniform motion unless a net external force acts on it.

Motion and its causes — force and mass

Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that links motion to its cause: force and mass. Kinematics only describes motion; dynamics explains why it changes.

Newton's first law states that an object stays at rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by:

Beginner
A a change in its mass B a net external force C its own weight alone D any single contact force
Show answer & explanation

a net external force

The first law (inertia) requires a net external force to change an object's state of rest or uniform motion. Individual forces that cancel out do not change motion.

Which equation correctly expresses Newton's second law?

Beginner
A $\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = m\vec{a}$ B $\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = m\vec{v}$ C $\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = \vec{a}/m$ D $\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = m/\vec{a}$
Show answer & explanation

$\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = m\vec{a}$

The net force equals mass times acceleration. The other expressions mix up the relationship or confuse acceleration with velocity.

Which quantity measures an object's inertia?

Beginner
A Momentum B Mass C Weight D Velocity
Show answer & explanation

Mass

Mass is the amount of matter in a body and measures how strongly it resists a change in motion. Weight is a force that depends on gravity.
