Y2 Kinematics (Motion)

Kinematics is to do with motion. You have dealt with it in the first year in general Kinematics, SUVAT and also were introduced to Variable Acceleration where you used differentiation and integration in a mechanics context.

In the second year, we use the fact that displacement, velocity and acceleration are all vectors and you will apply all your prior knowledge to problems that involve vectors.
