Mathematical Representations

Definition

Mathematical representations in physics refer to the use of equations and formulas to describe physical phenomena. These representations allow us to quantitatively analyze and predict the behavior of objects and systems.

Kinematic Equations: These are specific mathematical representations that describe the motion of objects in terms of displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time.

Newton's Laws of Motion: These are fundamental mathematical principles that explain how forces affect the motion of objects.

Conservation Laws (e.g., conservation of energy, conservation of momentum): These mathematical representations state that certain quantities remain constant in isolated systems, providing valuable insights into various physical processes.
