Document Summary
The laws of physics as they apply to bodies in motion. Classical mechanics looks at the motion of bodies as per the principled first enunciated by sir isaac newton"s. The basics types of motion described by classical mechanics are the following: Translational motion (motion by which a body shifts from one point in space to another) Rotational motion (motion by which an extended body changes orientation, with respect to other bodies in space, without changing position) Oscillatory motion (motion which continually repeats in time with a fixed period). Circular motion (motion by which a body executes a circular orbit about another fixed body) Geology (e. g. , the propagation of seismic waves, generated by earthquakes, through the earth"s crust), Engineering (e. g. , the equilibrium and stability of structures). Classical mechanics is considered to be the original physics , as all other branches of physics are based on it.
