A contribuição da matemática para o estudo da mecânica clássica: conceitos da cinemática no cotidiano

Abstract

This research aims to present the aspects that link mathematics with the classical mechanics studied / used in physics, as the notion of motion that can be represented in the Cartesian plane. For this work, a documentary investigation was carried out using works by authors in the area of mathematics and physics, because before physics had its importance, mathematics dominated everything quantitative. In this context, this research has as its main objective the study of kinematics from mechanics where we will point out the concepts of motion in different areas, we will study the simplest type of motion: a point object that moves along a line straight line, in this way, to describe this motion, we will introduce the concepts of physical magnitudes, such as, for example, position, time, velocity and acceleration. These quantities have precise definitions that need to be reinforced in relation to what is presented in everyday language. Therefore, we will point out that physics in its studies seeks to reach and explain the occurrence of the most varied phenomena that happen daily. At this juncture, physics, like other sciences, does not work alone, producing a direct relationship with other areas of study, including chemistry and mathematics.
