Motion is one the most evident physical phenomena because it is easily observable. Its study allows us to understand the motion of objects that surely are familiar to you, such as trains, cars and airplanes. But it also provides the basis to study other less common objects, such as satellites, planets, stars and many more.
The branch of Physics responsible for the study of this phenomenon is Kinematics, which study the laws of motion without considering the causes of such motion.
In this section, we will present these laws using two fundamental mathematical tools: vectors and derivatives.
