In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. Since the mid-20th century, the term dynamics has largely superseded kinetics in physics textbooks, though the term is still used in engineering and biomechanics.
