KINEMATICS

Kinematics is the branch of physics that is


responsible for studying the movement of objects,
without considering the causes that generate it,
such as the forces that act on them. In other
words, it focuses on describing and analyzing how
an object's position in space changes over time, as
well as the characteristics of that motion, such as
velocity, acceleration, and trajectory.
DISTANCE OR
LENGTH
Distance is the measure
of the space between
two points.
UNITS OF
MEASUREMENT
The base unit for length in the SI system is
the meter. The exact definition of meter has
changed over the years, but it’s now
defined as the distance that light travels in
a vacuum in 1⁄299 792 458 of a second.
UNITS OF
MEASUREMENT
Here are some SI units of length:
1 millimeter (mm) = 1,000 micrometers (μm)
1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m)
Some common English to SI system length conversions are
1 mile (mi) = 1.61 kilometers (km)
1 yard (yd) = 0.914 meters (m)
1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)
