During the early modern period, scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Christiaan Huygens, and Isaac Newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics.
mechanics, science concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces, including the special case in which a body remains at rest. Of first concern in the problem of motion are the forces that bodies exert on one another.
Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of bodies under the influence of forces. It encompasses the study of how objects move, how they respond to forces, and how these forces are applied.
