Learning outcomes
Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces and weights that caused the motion. Kinematics deals with kinematics of particles, kinematics of rigid bodies and kinematics constraints and mechanisms.
