Wiktionary
kinetics

n. 1 (context physics English) The branch of mechanics concerned purely with the motion of bodies. This is in contrast to dynamics, which also considers the reasons for motion, e.g. the forces acting on such bodies. 2 (context chemistry English) The branch of chemistry that is concerned with the rates of chemical reactions.

Kinetics (physics)

In physics and engineering, kinetics is a term for the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion of bodies and its causes, namely forces and torques. Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics" (or "analytical dynamics") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks; the term "kinetics" is still used in engineering.

In plasma physics, kinetics refers to the study of continua in velocity space. This is usually in the context of non-thermal ( non-Maxwellian) velocity distributions, or processes that perturb thermal distributions. These plasmas cannot be adequately described with fluid equations. Such plasmas are termed kinetic plasmas.

Kinetics (rapper)

Kinetics is a rapper based in New York City who has been releasing hip-hop projects since 2008. He has collaborated with R.A. the Rugged Man, Skyzoo, Remedy from Wu-Tang Killa Bees, Termanology, Accent, the Unknown Prophets and others, but is best known for his work with friend and longtime collaborator, NYC producer One Love. In 2009, Kinetics & One Love started releasing experimental hip-hop projects and writing and producing for other artists.
