Newtonian mechanics, often synonymous with classical mechanics, is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects and the forces that cause that motion. Developed primarily by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century, these principles provide an incredibly accurate framework for understanding the everyday world around us, from the arc of a thrown ball to the orbits of planets. While it has been refined and superseded in certain extreme conditions by relativistic and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics remains a cornerstone of scientific understanding and a crucial foundation for many fields of engineering and technology.
