Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, objects and systems of groups of objects, without reference to the causes of motion. To describe motion, kinematics studies the trajectories of points, lines and other geometric objects, as well as their differential properties (such as velocity and acceleration).
Understanding the main topics is key to mastering kinematics.
Understand the difference between scalar and vector quantity for Distance and Displacement.
Understand the difference between scalar and vector quantity and use the relationship between average speed, distance moved, and time in the formula.
Use the relationship between acceleration, change in velocity and time taken in the formula.
Investigate and interpret the data correctly in distance-time graphs.
Determine the distance travelled from the area of a speed-time graph.
Explore distance-time and velocity-time graphs visually
