MECHANICS
KINEMATICS
-
Deals with the position, acceleration, speed of an object
-
-
This topic is used in physics, mechanics in terms of engineering
STATICS
concerned with the analysis of loads (force and torque, or "moment") acting on physical systems that do not experience an acceleration (a=0), but rather, are in static equilibrium with their environment.
-
When in static equilibrium, the acceleration of the system is zero and the system is either at rest, or its center of mass moves at constant velocity.
SUMMARY
Kinematics focuses on the velocities, acceleration and position of objects. Kinematics doesn’t consider the masses of the object.
Statics is the study of forces without motion; or more formally, the branch of mechanics that deals with forces in the absence of changes in motion.
Kinetics focuses on the causes of different motions of objects such as in case of rotational motion, force or torques is dealt with kinetics.
