Detailed breakdown of Kinematics & Dynamics
Kinematics & Dynamics
Kinematics:
Kinematics is a term that refers to motion. The study of motion without regard for
the cause is known as kinematics.
It basically means looking at how things move rather than why they move. It
investigates how values such as distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and
acceleration change over time.And It is frequently described as applied geometry,
in which the movement of a mechanical system is described using rigid Euclidean
transformations. Points in a plane's coordinates are two-dimensional vectors in R2
(two-dimensional space).
Dynamics:
Dynamics, on the other hand, is the study of the causes of motion.
The branch of mechanics that deals with the movement of objects and the forces
that drive that movement is known as dynamics. You will most likely study
dynamics in a physics class.
The principles of dynamics govern car movement, or lack thereof. A car moving
despite the forces of multiple objects attempting to stop it is an example of
dynamics.
Because the car has a large mass, its momentum will increase if it is not stopped.
What is the difference between Kinematics and Dynamics?
Kinematics is the study of the motion of objects without regard for the forces that
cause the motion in mechanics. The study of how forces affect the motion of
objects is known as dynamics.
Kinematics can be used to predict how a machine will behave under specific
conditions.
Dynamics can be used to calculate the forces required to generate a given amount
of movement.
Kinematics, on the other hand, is concerned with describing motion, whereas
dynamics is concerned with explaining why motion occurs. Kinematics and
dynamics are frequently studied together because they are both required for a
complete understanding of a machine's behavior.
Types of Machine Movements
There are four types of basic machine movements: linear, circular, reciprocal,
and rotatory.
