35) Kinematics is the branch of mechanics which deals with the study of motion of material
objects without taking into account the factors affecting the motion. Rest and motion are
relative concept and nothing is absolute. The Position of the object at a given instant of time
is described in terms of position coordinates. The coordinate system along with a clock
constitutes a frame of reference. Frame of reference can be of two types viz: inertial frame of
reference and non-inertial frame of reference. When position of body change in a frame of
reference, it is said to be in motion which is categorised as uniform and non-uniform. Motion
of a body is studied in terms of position-time graph and velocity-time graph.
