Clue Page Published on Wednesday, June 11, 1997 by Gideon Ariel Kinematic clue Definition A kinematic clue is a combination of variables that describes data as a function of time: Variable Description Parameter Parameter Requirements Description Displacement 1 point Displacement of a single point Position 1 point Position of a single point Velocity 1 point Speed of a single point Acceleration 1 point Acceleration of a single point Projection angle 1 point Projection angle of a single point Distance 1 segment, or 2 points Distance between two points. Angle 2 segments, or 4 points, or 1 segment and 2 points, or 1 segment and a reference vector, or 2 points and a reference vector Angle between two segments. Angular velocity 2 segments, or 4 points, or 1 segment and 2 points, or 1 segment and a reference vector, or 2 points and a reference vector Angular velocity between two segments. Angular acceleration 2 segments, or 4 points, or 1 segment and 2 points, or 1 segment and a reference vector, or 2 points and a reference vector Angular acceleration between two segments.
