Mechanical Physics
Mechanical physics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of material objects under the influence of forces.
Often called just mechanics, mechanical physics falls under two main branches:
- Classical mechanics
- Quantum mechanics
Classical mechanics deals with the laws of motion of physical objects and the forces that cause the motion, while quantum mechanics is the branch of physics which deals with the behaviour of smallest particles (i.e. electrons, neutrons, and protons).
What Are the Main Branches of Mechanics?
Mechanics can be broken down into eight sub-branches. These are as follows:
- Applied mechanics
- Celestial mechanics
- Continuum mechanics
- Dynamics
- Kinematics
- Kinetics
- Statics
- Statistical mechanics
