Meaning of "kinematic" in English

Kinematic refers to the branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without considering the causes of this motion. It involves the study of positions, velocities, and accelerations of objects. In kinematics, the focus is purely on how objects move through space and time, rather than on the forces and energies that influence these movements. It plays a critical role in physics, engineering, and robotics, where understanding object motion is essential for design, analysis, and operation.

Meaning of "cinématique" in French

In French, "cinématique" denotes the same branch of mechanics as in English, concentrating on the motion of bodies without accounting for forces that cause or result from this motion. This domain fundamentally analyzes how objects change their position as time progresses. It's a crucial field of study within physics and engineering disciplines, offering insights into velocity, displacement, and acceleration, aiding in understanding and predicting motion in practical applications.
