Abstract

Kinematics is the subdivision of mechanics whose object is the quantitative study of movement of material bodies, regardless of the causes that produce this movement (position, speed, acceleration, etc.), whereas dynamics is the study of the movement of bodies depending on the forces exerted on them. This work is structured in two main parts. The first part will be devoted to the kinematics, preceded by the definition of mathematical tools that make it possible to understand this part as well as the rest. The second part will be the subject of the study of the dynamics followed a chapter on work and energy, which consists of shedding light on the relationships between movements and their causes. This handout represents a course support of mechanics of the material point. It is intended for students of the first semester of the SM track. We want students to find in this support a good working tool that will allow them to fill any gaps that may take place when taking notes while explaining the course or assignments led by their teachers. This handout is just an add-on to the course. He cannot, in any way, exempt the student from his presence in class.
