Mechanics

The video tutorial introduces mechanics, explaining its role in analyzing forces, matter, and energy interactions. It covers examples like pulley systems and distinguishes between classical and quantum mechanics. Classical mechanics, used by Galileo and Newton, deals with everyday objects, while quantum mechanics explores molecular and subatomic levels. Mechanics is highlighted as a cornerstone of physics, leading to discoveries in both vast and minute scales. The video concludes by prompting viewers to consider how mechanics influences their daily lives.
