Document Summary
Limited because you can only determine special and temporal (time) Linear movement observed along a path, does not have to be a straight line. Kinematics concerns special and temporal motion: how fast an object is moving. Kinetics forces that cause motion, act on a system, etc: examines the forces causing a motion, remember: forces cannot be seen, but effects are observed. Statics: examination of system not moving or moving at a constant speed (no acceleration, example: spaceship gliding through space (moving, but no velocity) Dynamics: examination of a system while accelerating. Plane: 2d surface w/ a line connecting any 2 points on this 2d surface. Axis: an imaginary line in which a rotation occurs. Sagittal: divides body into left and right. Frontal: divides body into anterior and posterior. Transverse: divides body into superior and inferior. Cardinal: divides body into left and right at the midpoint. Draw line segments @ beginning and end of movement.
