Study Notes
Kinematics and Dynamics
- Kinematics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without reference to their cause.
- In modern physics, the concept of motion held as undeterminable is velocity at a precise point in time.
Rest and Motion
- An object not in motion relative to a given frame of reference is said to be at rest.
Mathematical Description of Motion
- The physical quantity used to mathematically describe motion in terms of both magnitude and direction is a vector.
Forces and Motion
- The branch of physics that studies forces and their effect on motion is dynamics.
