Good thing you're equipped with a human brain - a tool particularly well suited for dealing with abstract and complicated topics, isn't it?alnix said:just asking, because it seems abstract and complicated for me.

Newtonian mechanics, also known as classical mechanics, is a branch of physics that studies the motion and behavior of objects under the influence of forces. It was developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century and is based on his three laws of motion.
Understanding Newtonian mechanics is crucial for predicting and explaining the behavior of objects in everyday life, as well as in more complex systems such as celestial bodies. It also serves as the basis for more advanced branches of physics, such as quantum mechanics and relativity.
The key principles of Newtonian mechanics are Newton's three laws of motion: the law of inertia, the law of acceleration, and the law of action and reaction. These laws describe the relationship between an object's motion and the forces acting upon it.
Newtonian mechanics can be applied in many real-life situations, such as calculating the forces on a moving car or predicting the path of a projectile. It can also be used in engineering to design structures and machines that can withstand forces and motion.
One common misconception is that Newtonian mechanics only applies to large-scale objects, when in fact it also applies to particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Another misconception is that it only describes linear motion, when it can also be used to study circular and rotational motion.
