What is the difference between kinematics and kinetics?
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.

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.
