Kinematics

Question 1

the study of description of the spatial and temporal characteristics of motion without regard to causative forces.

Answer 1

Kinematics

Question 2

Examples of kinematics concepts:

Answer 2

position, displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration.

Question 3

motion along an axis in which all points of the system move at the same time, in the same direction, and the same distance with respect to the defined reference frame despite their location on the system.

Answer 3

Linear motion

Question 4

Linear path is straight

Answer 4

Rectilinear motion

Question 5

Linear path is curved

Answer 5

Curvilinear motion

Question 6

motion when all points on a body or object move in circles (or parts of circles) about the same fixed central line or axis.

Answer 6

Angular motion

Question 7

combination of linear and angular motions

Answer 7

General motion

Question 8

what motion is referred to as rotatory motion or rotation

Answer 8

angular motion

Question 9

what motion is referred to as a translation

Answer 9

linear motion

Question 10

two types of linear motion

Answer 10

curvilinear or rectilinear

Question 11

the total length of the path traveled by the system of interest.

Answer 11

linear distance traveled (l)

Question 12

the change in linear position of the system in a straight line

Answer 12

linear displacement (d)

Question 13

Linear distance traveled only indicate ____ as a scalar quantity

Answer 13

Magnitude

Question 14

Linear displacement is vector or a scalar quantity?

Answer 14

vector

Question 15

Scalar rate of motion

Answer 15

Speed (s = l/delta”t”)

Question 16

Vector rate of motion

Answer 16

Velocity (v = d/delta “t”)

Question 17

Rate of distance traveled

Answer 17

Speed

Question 18

Rate of motion in a specific direction/rate of displacement

Answer 18

Velocity

Question 19

Velocity is made up of 2 things vs speed is one thing

Answer 19

Velocity is a magnitude (number) and a direction
Speed is a single number only
