kinematics

• the location of an object within a physical frame of reference

• reference points

the study of motion

the study of how things move

• the analysis of an object's position, velocity, and acceleration over time

• the study of the relationships between an object's motion and the forces acting upon it

• the mathematical description of motion, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration

• the study of the causes and effects of motion, including forces, energy, and momentum

• the analysis of the motion of objects without necessarily considering the forces causing the motion
