Kinematics

Study of motion without considering its causes: displacement, velocity, acceleration and motion graphs.

1.Introduction to Kinematics
A simple explanation of what kinematics is and how we study motion without looking at the forces behind it.
2.Motion
Understand what motion means in everyday life and how objects change their position with time.
3.Position and Reference Point
Learn how we describe the location of an object using a reference point and position.
4.Distance
A beginner-friendly explanation of distance as the total length of the path travelled by an object.
5.Displacement
Understand displacement as the shortest straight-line change in position, with simple examples.
6.Distance vs Displacement
Clear comparison of distance and displacement and why they are different physical quantities.
7.Speed
Learn what speed means and how it tells us how fast an object is moving.
8.Average Speed
Understand how total distance and total time help us calculate the average speed of an object.
9.Velocity
A simple explanation of velocity as speed with a direction and why direction matters.
10.Average Velocity
Understand average velocity using displacement and total time.
11.Acceleration
Learn what acceleration means and how it describes the rate of change of velocity.
12.Deceleration
A simple introduction to deceleration, or negative acceleration, when an object slows down.
13.Uniform Motion
Study motion in which an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
14.Non-uniform Motion
Understand motion where speed or velocity keeps changing with time.
15.Equations of Motion
Learn the three equations of motion used for uniformly accelerated motion in a simple way.
16.Motion Graphs
Understand how graphs like distance–time and velocity–time represent motion visually.
17.Relative Velocity
Beginner-friendly explanation of why motion looks different to different observers.
