Dynamics is the study of motion and the forces that cause motion. It examines concepts such as velocity, acceleration, forces, momentum, and impulse. Dynamics uses kinematic equations, graphs of displacement and velocity over time, and the relationship between an object's mass and its acceleration to analyze how and why objects are in motion. Key concepts include Newton's laws of motion, adding vectors, components of forces, conservation of momentum, and impulse as the product of force and time over which it acts.
