what is kinematics?
study of geometry of motion
what is kinetics?
study of relation between forces acting on a body
what is rectilinear motion?
motion where particles move along a straight line
what is velocity
rate of change of position
what is acceleration
rate of change of velocity
what happens when acceleration and velocity of a particle have the same sign
particle’s speed is increasing
what happens when acceleration and velocity of a particle have different signs
particle’s speed is decreasing
