6 Questions
In physics, what is the branch that describes the motion of objects without reference to their cause called?
kinematics
What is the branch of physics that studies forces and their effect on motion called?
dynamics
According to modern physics, can Newton's concept of absolute motion be determined? Why or why not?
No, because there is no absolute frame of reference in the universe.
What is motion in physics?
Motion is the phenomenon by which an object changes its position with respect to time.
How is motion mathematically described?
Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference to an observer.
What are the two branches of physics that study motion?
The branch describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics, while the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics.
