Kinematics

Kinematics studies motion regardless of what caused these movements. In kinematics, idealized models of objects that have no mass and dimensions are considered.


I.1. Basic concepts of kinematics

Concepts used in kinematics: material point, motion, trajectory, velocity and acceleration

I.2. Equations of motion in cylindrical coordinates

Cylindrical coordinates are convenient to use for the analysis of systems in which the trajectories of motion are given relative to a radial line, or can be conveniently expressed in cylindrical coordinates

I.3. Circular motion, rotational motion
