The mechanics of the material point studies the motion of a particle whose dimensions are considered negligible compared to the distances it travels. The body is modeled as a material point located at a single position. The analysis relies on kinematics (position, velocity, acceleration) and dynamics (forces, Newton’s laws, work done, kinetic, potential and total energy). Three main types of motion are studied: linear motion, curvilinear motion, and motion in space. The goal is to describe the motion and predict it based on the acting forces.
