| Kinematics describing motion without reference to the cause of motion |
||||||||||||
| Kinematics uses simple definitions of relationships between fundamental quantities as SPACE and TIME to derive equations that relate quantity as DISPLACEMENT to rate of change as VELOCITY and ACCELERATION. | ||||||||||||
