Mechanics is the branch of physics that focuses on the motion of objects and the forces that cause the motion to change. There are two parts to mechanics: Kinematics and Dynamics. Kinematics deals with the concepts that are needed to describe motion, without any reference to forces. Dynamics deals with the effect that forces have on motion.Page 2 of 85mob: +92 323 509 4443, email: megalecture@gmail.comwww.youtube.com/megalecture Introduction Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects using words, diagrams, graphs, and equations. The goal of kinematics is to develop mental models to describe the motion of real-world objects. We will learn to describe motion using: 1. Words 2. Diagrams 3. Graphs 4. Equationswww.megalecture.comPage 3 of 85mob: +92 323 509 4443, email: megalecture@gmail.comwww.youtube.com/megalecture Describing Motion with words The motion of objects can be described by words. Even a person without a background in physics has a collection o...
