Kinematics is the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion. A very concised and complete lecture on Kinematics 1. It is very important for someone which is aiming for IIT-JEE or Medical. The topic is not very tough and can be easily mastered with a bit of practice.Here, we shall discuss vectors in detail and throw some light on various interesting facts including its sub-topics. Besides, we shall also illustrate some important tips to master the topic in addition to its practical applications in real life.
Kinematics is one of the easiest and important chapters of Mechanics in the syllabus of IIT JEE, NEET and other engineering examinations. The beginners also find it easy and it is very interesting for them to solve numerical problems on them. This chapter is also important from the viewpoint that it is a prerequisite to all other chapters of Mechanics. Moreover the concept of this chapter is useful in the other units of Physics. This chapter can be said to be one of the easiest as it has very few twists and turns.
While studying motion of bodies we have to keep two things in mind. We have to study various characteristics associated with moving bodies while we are to explore and study in detail, about the cause of producing motion. Accordingly we divided the study in two categories. One is Kinematics and the other is Dynamics.
It is the branch of physics which deals only with the description of motion of bodies. In this branch we shall study some characteristics associated with moving bodies, e.g., displacement, velocity, acceleration etc. We shall also study various relations connecting them with each other. But we shall not concentrate on the cause of motion. This chapter deals with the fundamental concepts of the motion of a particle in one and two dimensions. Various kinds of motion can be symmetrically grouped under few broad categories. The point of distinction is made on grounds of the velocity vector. On these grounds motion can be one dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional. In this chapter we will study the part of the mechanics which deals only the motion of body and not the cause of motion.
Following topics will be covered under Kinematics in our subsequent video lectures:-
Introduction to Motion in One Dimension
Graphical Representation and Equations of Motion
Motion under Gravity
Motion in a Straight Line with Acceleration
Motion in Two Dimensions
Motion of Projectile
Circular Motion
Relative Motion

Kinematics was never so easy, keep it up
Nice explaination
