What is kinematics?

Answer 1

V = Vo + at

X - Xo = Vot + .5at2

v2 = vo2 + 2a(X - Xo)

X - Xo = .5(Vo + V)t

V is final velocity in units of meters per seconds (m/s)

Vo is initial velocity in units of meters per seconds (m/s)

a is acceleration in units of meters per squared seconds (m/s2)

t is time in seconds (s)

X is final displacement in units of meters (m)

Xo is initial displacement in units of meters (m)

Multiple unknowns can be solved for each other by using more than one equation. If you are solving for two components, find a common piece (such as time), solve for that piece for each component and set them equal to each other to solve for the other unknowns.

Hope this helps!

p.s. sometimes it is easier to remember the second, third and fourth equations as

2. df - dI = vIt + .5at2

3. v2=vI2+2a(df - di)

4. df - dI = .5(vI + vf)t

its all the same except x has been switched with the first letter of displacement, and the 0 have been switched with i for initial. f is for final

Answer 2

Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that deals with quantities involving space and time only. It is used to describe the motions of particles and objects, but does not take the forces that cause these motions into account.

Answer 3

Kinematics is the branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved.

It describes the spatial position of bodies or systems, their velocities, and their acceleration.

Answer 4

Kinematics is the study of motion, including both the trajectory and velocity of objects. It concerns itself with describing the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object without considering the forces causing the motion. In simpler terms, kinematics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects without examining the forces involved.

Answer 5

Kinematics is the description of how things move.
