3.1 Introduction. Unusually in physics, there is no pithy phrase that sums up the study of dynamics (the way in which forces produce motion), kinematics (the motion of matter), mechanics (the study of the forces and the motion they produce), and statics (the way forces combine to produce equilibrium).
