alleryWhich statement best describes kinematics?
AIt studies motion without considering the forces causing it
BIt studies forces and the masses on which they act
CIt studies energy transformations during motion
DIt studies only circular motion of bodies
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It studies motion without considering the forces causing it
Kinematics describes motion in terms of position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration, without analyzing the forces responsible for that motion.
Considering forces belongs to dynamics, not kinematics.
