What is another word for kinematics?

Pronunciation: [ka͡ɪnmˈatɪks] (IPA)

Kinematics is the study of motion that is concerned with the description of the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object without considering the forces that cause the motion. Synonyms for the word kinematics include dynamics, mechanics, movement, motion, action, activity, and kinetics. Dynamics is the study of the causes of motion and its effects on objects. Mechanics deals with the behavior of objects under different forces. Movement refers to the act of changing position or posture. Motion is the change in position of an object over time. Action is the force exerted on an object to change its motion. Activity is a type of movement that involves physical exertion. Kinetics is the branch of mechanics that studies the motion of objects under the influence of forces.
