Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects. Such descriptions can rely on words, diagrams, graphs, mathematical equations, and numerical data. This Chapter describes all of these representations that are part of our Kinematic model of motion.
Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.
Define kinematics Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, objects and systems of groups of objects, without reference to the causes of motion (i.e., forces ).
Kinematics is a branch of physics that studies motion without considering mass and force. Learn the etymology, examples, and medical definition of kinematics from Merriam-Webster dictionary.
In this article, we’ll go over the definition of kinematics in physics, some of the basic concepts that make up this subfield, and the physics equations you’ll need to know in order to start solving kinematics problems.
noun. , (used with a singular verb) the branch of mechanics that deals with pure motion, without reference to the masses or forces involved in it. Also called applied kinematics. the theory of mechanical contrivance for converting one kind of motion into another. kinematics. / ˌkɪnɪˈmætɪks; ˌkaɪ- / noun.
