KINEMATICS
ARISTOTLE - The great Greek thinker - (384 B.C-322 B.C.)
Aristotle was the first man to work on the field of mechanics.
He held the view that if a body is moving, something external
must be required to keep it in that state and prevent it from
coming to a stop. The view was part of an elaborate framework
of ideas developed by Aristotle on the motion of bodies in the
universe. Most of the Aristotelian ideas on motion are now known
to be wrong and need not concern us.

MOTION DEFINING PARAMETERS
INTRODUCTION
Mechanics is the first branch of physics , so many scientists studied it in the initial days. It is
classified into two parts :
(A) STATICS - It is the study of objects at rest.
(B) DYNAMICS - It is the study of objects in motion.
It can be further classified in two parts :
(I) KINEMATICS - Study of motion without taking into consideration the cause of motion.
(II) DYNAMICS PROPER - It is the study of motion by taking into account, the factors responsible for
that motion.
MAIN CONTRIBUTORS TO MECHANICS
(A) ARISTOTLE : Born in 384 B.C., he was the first man to work in the field of mechanics. He held the view
that if a body is moving, something external must be required to keep it in that state and prevent it
from coming to a stop.
(B) GALILEO : He was born in Pisa, Italy in 1564 A.D. He invented the concept of accelerati
