Questions and Answers

What is the difference between kinematics and kinetics?

  • Kinematics is about the geometric description of motions of point masses or rigid bodies in space, while kinetics are about the laws behind the causes of motion. (correct)
  • Kinematics is about the reference frames and coordinate systems used in vehicle dynamics and control, while kinetics are about the laws behind the causes of motion.
  • Kinematics is about the forces acting on a body, while kinetics are about the acceleration of a body times its mass.
  • Kinematics is about the laws behind the causes of motion, while kinetics are about the geometric description of motions of point masses or rigid bodies in space.
  • What are the coordinates of the vehicle frame based on the international standard ISO 885?

  • XV points towards the top of the vehicle, YV points towards the front of the vehicle, and ZV points to the left side of the vehicle.

    Study Notes

    Kinematics vs Kinetics

    • Kinematics deals with the description of motion, focusing on the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object without considering the forces that cause the motion.
    • Kinetics, on the other hand, is the study of the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces that act upon it.

    Vehicle Frame Coordinates

    • The coordinates of the vehicle frame based on the international standard ISO 8855 are:
      • x-axis: points to the front of the vehicle
      • y-axis: points to the left of the vehicle
      • z-axis: points upwards from the ground

    Vehicle Reference Point

    • The vehicle reference point is a point fixed to the vehicle, typically located at the midpoint of the rear axle or the center of the front axle.
    • This point is used as a reference for measuring the vehicle's motion and orientation.

    Inertial Reference Frame

    • An inertial reference frame is a fixed frame of reference in which an object's motion can be measured without the influence of external forces.
    • In vehicle dynamics, the inertial frame is typically the Earth's surface or a fixed point on the ground.

    Kinematics in Vehicle Dynamics

    • Kinematics in vehicle dynamics involves the study of the motion of a vehicle without considering the forces that cause the motion.
    • This includes the description of the vehicle's position, velocity, and acceleration in three-dimensional space.

    Coordinate System

    • The coordinate system chosen for the inertial frame in vehicle dynamics is typically a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z).
    • This system allows for easy description and measurement of the vehicle's motion in three-dimensional space.
