Textbook in PDF format Simplified Classical Mechanics, Second Edition, Volume I: Foundations of Motion, explores the kinematics and dynamics of motion. The hallmark of the volume is its treatment of Newton’s Laws of Motion, the principles set forth by Sir Isaac Newton in the seventeenth century to describe the motion of an object under the influence of forces; thus, “Classical Mechanics” is often referred to as “Newtonian Mechanics.” This volume examines how an object moves (i.e., gives a description of the path of an object in motion) then examines the underlying reasons why an object moves the way it does. Problem-solving strategies are built-up in each chapter
