INTRODUCTION
- What is kinematics?
- Movement in Nature
- Different kinds of movement.
- Trajectories
- In some fields of science, it is very important to know the trajectory of any given object.
- The launching of the space-probe Voyager
- Movements might be different, though their trajectories would be the same.
- Speed
VELOCITY
- What is velocity?
- Constant velocity
- The speed of light
RECTILINEAR MOVEMENT
- A Rectilinear movement may be constant or variable
- Acceleration
- The falling of bodies
- Galileo Galilei
- The gravity’s acceleration
CIRCULAR MOVEMENT
- What is the circular movement?
- Angular velocity
- Applications of this movement
