alleryStart learning →Dynamics is best described as the study of which of the following?
AHow motion is described without its causes
BHow energy is stored inside moving objects
CHow forces affect the motion of objects
DHow bodies deform under an applied load
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. How forces affect the motion of objects
1. Dynamics is the study of how forces affect the motion of objects and systems.
2. Newton's laws of motion are the foundation of dynamics.
3. Describing motion without asking what causes it is kinematics, not dynamics.
4. Deformation under load and energy storage belong to other branches again.
