Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects. Such descriptions can rely upon words, diagrams, graphics, numerical data, and mathematical equations. This chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial explores each of these representations of motion using informative graphics, a systematic approach, and an easy-to-understand language.
