microscopic

The engineer who designs bridges or aircraft may use the Newtonian laws of mechanics with confidence, even though the forces may be very complicated, and the calculations lack the beautiful simplicity of celestial mechanics. The third realm of phenomena comprises the behavior of matter and electromagnetic radiation on the atomic and subatomic scale. Learning Objectives: After going through this unit students will be able to:  Understand the general feature of motion of a particle. Know how particles interact with the action of force. Explain the relationship between force and work done. 15 2.1.Kinematics in One and Two Dimensions Self Diagnostic Test  What does kinematics deals about? Can you state the kinematical quantities that describe the motion of objects? Can you distinguish instantaneous and average velocities?And accelerations?A formal study of physics begins with kinematics. The word ―kinematics‖ comes from a Greek word ―kinesis‖ meaning motion, and is related to other English words such as ―cinema‖ (movies) and ―kinesiology‖ (the study of human motion). Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without reference to the causes of motion (i.e., forces). Kinematics is concerned on analyzing kinematical quantities used to describe motion such as velocity, acceleration, displacement, time, and trajectory. Objects are in motion all around us.
