Rigid-body dynamics is the study of how interconnected bodies move under external forces. It assumes that the bodies do not deform and simplifies analysis by focusing on translation and rotation. The laws of kinematics and Newton's second law are used to describe the motion and acceleration of the system, making it useful for computer simulations of mechanical systems.
