Mechanics – a field of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the

energy and forces that affect it .

Kinematics - describe motion of objects , point or systems, excluding the


forces involved .
Dynamics – deal with forces and the causes of the motion.
Motion - is the continuous change in the position of a body.
3 types of motion
 Translational/rectilinear motion – motion of an object that moves
along a path without rotating
 Rotational motion – motion of a rigid body about an axis
 Vibrational
The coordinate axes can serve as the frame of reference .
Distance – the total space or length covered regardless of the direction .
(scalar)
Displacement – is the straight line distance or change from the initial to the
terminal position of the object .
Average speed – refers to the total distance an object travels over a given
time interval.
Average velocity - refers to how far is the object displaced over a given time
interval .
Instantaneous speed – refers to the speed at a specific time .
Instantaneous velocity – refers to the velocity at a specific time .
