Classical Dynamics - DAMTP
This is the goal of classical dynamics. { 2 {Equation (1.1) is not quite correct as stated: we must add the caveat that it holds only in an inertial frame. This is de ned to be a frame in which a free particle with m_ = 0 travels in a straight line, r = r 0 + vt (1.2)

Electromagnetism - DAMTP
www.damtp.cam.ac.ukAt the atomic scale, electromagnetism (admittedly in conjunction with some basic quantum e ects) governs the interactions between atoms and molecules. It is the force that underlies the periodic table of elements, giving rise to all of chemistry and, through this, much of biology. It is the force which binds atoms together into solids and liquids.

(Buildings are not supposed to move.) The other is dynamics: mx¨ + dV dx = 0 , (5.5) which when you replace dV/dxby −F(x), is recognized as Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion.
