Kinematics

   The grandfather clock is apart of my everyday life, is owned by everyone on the planet, a great tangible technology or representation of duration, and is an example of kinematics or the study of motion. As the hands of the clock move around the face, it creates a circular movement. Also, as the clock functions it shows a displacement of “0” at every hour when it chimes. What goes around comes around. It is important to use this type of technology because it simplifies our lives and helps to keep us on track. They also help to make our lives as effective as possible with its efficiency to be measureable and moveable. It’s amazing how many inventions including the grandfather clock that fall under the category of kinematics.
