Definition of kinetics in English English dictionary
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
the body of knowledge that deals with the effects of forces that produce or modify body motion
As applied to ion channels kinetics usually encompasses the study of rate of change ion channels undergo during gating, ion passage, etc Kinetics is often used in order to uncover specific "mechanisms" channels undergo when changing from one state to another and to explain the phenomena of gating, "jumps", "bursts", "transition times", sub-conductance modes, ligand interactions, etc Complex mathematical treatments involving the kinetics of ion channels have been undertaken in order to gain insight into how ion channels accomplish this
Kinetics is the science of measuring changes, of assessing rates of movements and flow In biology, kinetics is concerned with enzyme kinetics, the rate of how proteins help catalyze a chemical reactions Another application of kinetics is the rate of flow of molecules in solution by diffusion or in an energy field (such as charges in an electric field, or mass in a gravitational field) Flux rates of molecules across biological membranes are also studied by kinetics
The study of the relationship between motion and the forces affecting motion; bodies changing motion as unbalanced forces act on them The concepts of mass, force, and energy as they affect motion
In physics, kinetic is used to describe something that is concerned with movement. relating to movement (kinetikos, from kinetos ). adj. kinetic energy kinetic sculpture kinetic theory of gases
Based on a revolutionary technology, Seiko Kinetic® watches run entirely on sell generated energy from natural movement of your wrist It never needs a battery
Refers to the Seiko line of Kinetic watches This innovative technology has a quartz movement that does not use a battery Movement of your wrist charges a very efficient capacitor which powers the quartz movement Once the capacitor is fully charged, mens models will store energy for 7-14 days without being worn Ladies models store energy for 3-7 days Of course, if the watch is worn every day the capacitor is continually recharged The watch alerts you to a low capacitor charge when the seconds hand starts to move in two second intervals For more information, click to go to Seiko's Internet Site
as calculated from the average kinetic energy of gas atoms: this is the "real" physical temperature, but is not directly measurable, whereas the others are
characterized by motion; "modern dance has been called kinetic pantomime" relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces associated therewith; "kinetic energy
