Kinematics vs. Dynamics

Kinematicsnoun

(physics) The branch of mechanics concerned with objects in motion, but not with the forces involved.

Kinematicsnoun

The science which treats of motions considered in themselves, or apart from their causes; the comparison and relation of motions.

Kinematicsnoun

the branch of mechanics concerned with motion without reference to force or mass

Kinematics

Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move. Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the and is occasionally seen as a branch of mathematics.

Dynamicsnoun

(mechanics) The branch of mechanics that is concerned with the effects of forces on the motion of objects.

Dynamicsnoun

(music) The volume of the sound, such as piano, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, and forte.

Dynamicsnoun

That branch of mechanics which treats of the motion of bodies (Kinematics) and the action of forces in producing or changing their motion (kinetics). Dynamics is held by some recent writers to include statics and not kinematics.

Dynamicsnoun

The moving moral, as well as physical, forces of any kind, or the laws which relate to them.

Dynamicsnoun

That department of musical science which relates to, or treats of, the power of tones.

Dynamicsnoun

the branch of mechanics concerned with the forces that cause motions of bodies
