Kinetics vs. Kinematics

Kineticsnoun

(physics) The branch of mechanics concerned with motion of objects, as well as the reason i.e. the forces acting on such bodies. This, along with kinematics constitute dynamics, which is concerned purely with the effects of forces on moving bodies.

Kineticsnoun

(chemistry) The branch of chemistry that is concerned with the rates of chemical reactions.

Kineticsnoun

See Dynamics.

Kineticsnoun

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

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.
