    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics

    Mechanics (from Ancient Greek μηχανική (mēkhanikḗ) 'of machines ') [1][2] is the area of physics concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects. [3] Forces applied to objects result in displacements, which are changes of an object's position relative to its environment.

  3. Bra–ket notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra–ket_notation

    Bra–ket notation, also called Dirac notation, is a notation for linear algebra and linear operators on complex vector spaces together with their dual space both in the finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional case. It is specifically designed to ease the types of calculations that frequently come up in quantum mechanics.

  9. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of referenceto an observer, measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with a change in time. The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics, while ...
