Definition:Dynamics

Definition
Dynamics is the branch of the mechanics describing the motion of bodies under the influence of forces.

It can be further subdivided into the branches of:
 * kinetics, in which the relationships between force and motion are considered
 * kinematics, in which motion is analysed without considering the forces involved.

In general, the concerns of dynamics are with solid bodies rather than fluids.
