What is Kinematics? (04:49)

FREE PREVIEW

Kinematics studies motion in nature and technology. The trajectory is the path an object in motion follows through space over time and can be rectilinear, curvilinear, or circular motion. Velocity is the relationship of distance covered and elapsed time.

Velocity (01:32)

Learn the difference between constant and variable velocities. Light from the sun takes eight minutes to arrive on Earth.

Rectilinear Movement (02:06)

A movement is rectilinear and uniform if an object has a constant velocity. Galileo Galilei determined that gravity causes rectilinear and their velocity increased with time elapsed.

Circular Movement (01:46)

Examples include wheels, rides, satellites, and records. Angular velocity is the relationship between the angle and time employed.

Summary (02:12)

The trajectory is the path an object in motion follows through space over time and can be rectilinear, curvilinear, or circular motion. Velocity is the relationship of distance covered and elapsed time. Wheels are an important breakthrough for circular movement.

Description

Kinematics: the science that studies movement. In this program, we’ll explore the velocity of our planet, trajectories of bodies, rectilinear movement, circular movement, velocity and the relation between space and time, the contributions of Galileo, gravitational acceleration, and angular velocity and acceleration.
