Particle mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the motion of objects by considering them as dimensionless mass points. It simplifies the study of physical systems by neglecting the dimensions and internal structure of objects, focusing solely on their overall motion. In this case, the object under study is assumed to be point-like, meaning it has no significant spatial dimensions, which simplifies calculations by considering only the object's mass and its position in space. The fundamental principles of particle mechanics are based on Newton's laws, which describe the relationship between the applied force on an object, its mass, and its motion. By using these principles, one can analyze the motion of a particle by studying the applied forces, the object's mass, and the initial conditions. Particle mechanics provides an essential foundation for understanding more advanced concepts in classical mechanics, such as kinematics, dynamics, laws of motion, energy, etc.
