Kinematics: The Language of Motion (A Crash Course)

Описание: How do we use math to describe the exact path of a satellite or the simple motion of a thrown ball? The answer is **KinematICS**, the "language of motion."

This video is a crash course in the branch of physics that describes motion without worrying about what causes it (that's Dynamics!). We'll break down the fundamental "words" of this language:

*Position:* Where is it?
*Velocity:* How fast is it going (and in what direction)?
*Acceleration:* How is its velocity changing?

Join us as we explore the three main "chapters" of this language:
1. *Rectilinear Motion:* Moving in a straight line.
2. *Curvilinear Motion:* Moving along a curved path (like a projectile).
3. *Rotational Motion:* Spinning around an axis.

We'll also see how these concepts combine to describe complex "General Plane Motion."
