The description of how stationary things react to pushes and pulls

• Dynamics

• Kinematics

• Mechanics

• Statics

Systems that move in straight lines or in simple curved paths caused by forces acting on the system. The point of view is stationary or is moving in one direction at a constant speed. 

• Accelerated Reference Frame

• Coriolis Effect

• Fixed Reference Frame

• Rotational Reference Frame

When the observational point of view is not stationary or moving at a constant speed

• Accelerated Reference Frame

• Coriolis Effect

• Fixed Reference Frame

• Rotational Reference Frame

A special form of reference frame where there is a constant direction but a change in speed

• Accelerated Reference Frame

• Coriolis Effect

• Fixed Reference Frame

• Rotational Reference Frame

 The geometric space containing the point of reference and coordinate axes from which a person observes or measures position and movement

• Coordinate

• Coordinate Axis

• Frame of Reference

• System

A distinct part of the universe, from elementary particles to galaxies, that we may want to study or measure. Separated from its surroundings by an actual or imaginary boundary

• Coordinate

• Coordinate Axis

• Frame of Reference

• System

 An imaginary line that contains am origin as a zero point of position reference and is marked in distance units
