Here we will first give some basic definitions:
Mechanics is the study of the way matter and forces interact with each other. Here we are concerned with macroscopic bodies, i.e., bodies that you can easily see, in the solid state.
Statics is a field within mechanics which concerns itself with forces when no change in momentum occurs.
Dynamics
is a field concerned with forces and matter when a change in momentum
does occur.
Kinematics is a study of motion without regard to the forces present. It is simply a mathematical way to describe motion.
