  1. What is the difference between "kinematics" and "dynamics"?

    A quick Google search reveals "dynamic and kinematic viscosity," "kinematic and dynamic performance," "fully dynamic and kinematic voronoi diagrams," "kinematic and reduced …

  2. kinematics - What does the magnitude of the acceleration mean ...

    Feb 9, 2014 · Your question is kind of vague but I will try to respond. Acceleration is defined as the time rate of change of velocity. Since velocity has both magnitude and direction, so does …

  3. kinematics - Deriving equations of motion using integration

    The equation you have written is used very often in mechanics problems, where the speed of a particle is taken to be a function of the distance travelled. Once you write the diffrential …

  4. What are the equations for motion with constant jerk?

    Nov 13, 2014 · Every one knows the three famous equations for motions with constant acceleration . But what if the motion were having a jerk? How should then be the equations for …

  5. kinematics - Is Retardation and Deceleration the same thing?

    Oct 31, 2023 · Deceleration and retardation used more-or-less interchangably to mean negative acceleration. Because the velocity is a vector, this has a counter-intuitive meaning: Consider …

  6. Why do kinematic equations only work with constant acceleration?

    May 20, 2022 · Look at the definition of velocity and acceleration. The kinematic equations were derived from those definitions.

  7. kinematics - Galileo's law of odd numbers - Physics Stack Exchange

    May 27, 2019 · The Galileo’s law of odd numbers states that the distances traveled are proportional to the squares of the elapsed times. In other words, in equal successive periods …

  8. kinematics - How do we implement the speed differential for the ...

    Mar 11, 2021 · I'm working on a vehicle that uses four independent motors to control both the steering and speed for each wheel. I'm using Ackermann steering, and I've already got the …

  9. Difference b/w Kinetics & Kinematics w/concrete example

    Jul 30, 2016 · seems to me like "kinematics" analyzes the motion (trajectories etc.), without worrying what is causing the motion. While "kinetics" or as most would say "dynamics" does …

  10. kinematics - Why is jerk/jolt unintuitive as opposed to acceleration ...

    Jun 9, 2020 · Going from position to velocity to acceleration makes sense. But suddenly acceleration to jerk is hard to grasp. Why is that?
