Meanings

noun

The branch of mechanics concerned with motion of objects, as well as the reason i.e. the forces acting on such bodies. This, along with kinematics constitute dynamics, which is concerned purely with the effects of forces on moving bodies.

Examples :

"To design a safe and effective roller coaster, engineers need a strong understanding of kinetics, including how gravity and friction affect the speed and forces on the cars. "

noun

The branch of chemistry that is concerned with the rates of chemical reactions.

Examples :
