- 1. Particle mechanics is a branch of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of particles in a system without considering the forces acting on them. Instead of analyzing the individual forces, particle mechanics focuses on the overall motion of the particles in the system. It involves studying the position, velocity, and acceleration of particles in order to predict their future motion. Particle mechanics is fundamental in understanding the behavior of objects at a microscopic level and is essential in various fields such as physics, engineering, and astronomy.
