Abstract
By classical kinematics (CK) I understand the theory the models of which have the form <P, ℝ ,s>, where P is a non-empty set (of points or ‘particles’), ℝ is the set of real numbers, and s:P ×ℝ → ℝ3 is smooth in its second argument. s is called position function and ℝ denotes time, so ’ s(p,t)= <α1,…, α3>’ has to be read as ‘point p at time t is in position <α1,α2,α3>’.
