Linear Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
What’s the difference between kinetics and kinematics
A
Kinetics - the relationship between motion and its causes
Kinematics - describes the motion of bodies without considering causing forces
2
Q
What are the forms of motion
A
Translational - an object moving through space without changing its orientation
Rotational - how a body is orientated in space
3
Q
What are scalar and vector quantities
A
Scalar - has magnitude and can be represented by a singular number
Vector- has magnitude and direction
