General physics
Kepler’s first law
Physics; General physics
The path of each planet around the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.
Kepler’s second law
Physics; General physics
If a line is drawn from the sun to the planet, then the area swept out by this line in a given time interval is constant.
Kepler’s third law
Physics; General physics
Given the period, T , and semimajor axis, a , of a planet’s orbit, the ratio T 2 / a 3 is the same for every planet.

kinematics
Physics; General physics
Kinematics is the study and description of the motion of objects.
kinetic friction
Physics; General physics
The force between two surfaces moving relative to one another. The frictional force is parallel to the plane of contact between the two objects and in the opposite direction of the sliding object’s ...
kinetic theory of gases
Physics; General physics
A rough approximation of how gases work, that is quite accurate in everyday conditions. According to the kinetic theory, gases are made up of tiny, round molecules that move about in accordance with ...
