Mechanics deals with motion and the action of forces on objects. Mathematical models can be constructed to simulate real-life situations, but in many cases it is necessary to simplify the problem by making assumptions so that it can be described using equations or graphs in order to solve it. In this lesson you learn about Modelling in Mechanics Constructing a Model, Constructing a Model, Assumptions in a Model.

Understand how the concept of a mathematical model applies to mechanics.
