KINEMATICS Flashcards
Describes motion using equations of motion.
KINEMATICS
Studies the position, acceleration and speed of an object
KINEMATICS
explains the terms such as acceleration, velocity, and position of objects.
Kinematics
The branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.
kinematics
It has only the magnitude
Only one dimensional
SCALAR
This quantity changes with the change in magnitude
SCALAR
It has direction and magnitude
VECTOR
It is multidimensional
This changes with magnitude and direction
VECTOR
The complete length of the length between any two path between any two points points when measured along is called —-
DISTANCE
Distance can have negative and positive values
T OR F
false
just positive
distance is a vector quantity
T OR F
FALSE
Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction
is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them
DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both
T OR F
TRUE
Displacement can only be positive
t or f
false
can be positive, negative and even zero
is a scalar quantity which means it has no direction. It denotes how fast an object is moving.
Speed
