 Summary
• Dynamics is concerned with bodies that have
accelerated motion.
• Kinematics is a study of the geometry of the motion.
• Kinetics is a study of the forces that cause the motion.
• Rectilinear kinematics refers to straight-line motion.
• Speed refers to the magnitude of velocity.
• Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by
the total time. This is different from the average velocity,
which is the displacement divided by the time.
• A particle that is slowing down is decelerating.
• A particle can have an acceleration and yet have zero
velocity.
