Mechanics
ield of physics that specializes in the study of motion.
Kinematics
Deals with the quantitative description of motion.
Dynamics
Focuses on the forces that affects motion.
Motion
An object is in motion if its position changes in
relation to fixed object during a given time.
Position
a fundamental concept on describing
motion of an object. It is where something
sits on an axis. escribi
Distance
A scalar quantity that describe how far an
object travels. dT = d1 + d2 .....
Displacement
refers to change in position between two points. It is shortest length between the initial and final positions of an object. It is a vector quantity.
Speed
is a measure of how fast an object moves.
Instantaneous speed
is the speed over the shortest possible time interval.
Constant speed
object speed remains the same
Velocity
displacement divided by the time taken.
Average Speed
the total distance traveled over the total time it takes to travel the total distance covered. It is a scalar quantity.
Acceleration
is the rate of change in velocity with time.
