Kinematics is the study of motion, or more correctly, the analysis and measurement of motion.
In the series of lessons we are going to examine some aspects of motion in one dimension.
But before we start it maybe useful to see where kinematics sits in the context of classical mechanics.
The following video gives you an introduction to the concept of mechanics tying in not only kinematics, which is the analysis of motion but also dynamics which is the analysis of the cause of motion.

This next video provides an overview of kinematics, and introduces some key terms such as distance and displacement, speed and velocity, and how they relate. A good start before you get into the specifics of kinematics.
We will also look at the concept of average velocity , and how that is determined.
