Memory List Flashcards
Kinematics
The study of the mathematics of motion without regard to the forces involved.
Kinetics
The study of the force-motion relationship.
Particle Dynamics
An object whose motion may be analyzed without regard to rotation about an axis through the object.
Rigid Body
An object whose motion may not be analyzed without regard to rotation about an axis through the object.
Position Vector
A vector whose tip indicates the location of a point (particle) or a point on a rigid body.
Velocity Equation
Acceleration Equation
V-DOT-S-V Equation
Cartesian Coordinates
Rectangular Coordinates
Vector
A vector has magnitude and direction.

Velocity Vector in Cylindrical Coordinates
Acceleration Vector in Cylindrical Coordinates
Particle
An object whose motion may be analyzed without regard to rotation about an axis through an object.
Clues to use Rectangular Coordinates
- Rectilinear Motion
- Simple Projectile Motion
- Acceleration in a given direction that depends only on time and/or motion parameters in that direction.
