Introduction -
Welcome to our website directed to teach, educate and allow students to learn about physics and provide students with quality education, regarding mechanics in physics of the IB diploma program.
What is Kinematics?
Kinematics is the study of motion of different objects. This study does not reference to the forces that causes the motion.
Kinematics in IB include simple equations that deal with motion, but most of them cannot be applied to the real world. This is due to the equations only dealing with motion that does not consider air resistance. Because you took IGCSE Science, I assume you know what air resistance is.
In this website, we will be looking into different equations that fall under Kinematics and we will look a bit into air resistance as well. Keep in mind that some of these topics are not within the IB syllabus but should be kept in mind as it will be useful for your IAs.
