Can you explain Automobile Kinematics?

In summary, automobile kinematics is the study of how vehicles move, accelerate, and turn. It is important for engineers to design safe and efficient vehicles and for drivers to understand their vehicle's capabilities. Factors that affect automobile kinematics include weight, engine power, tire traction, and road conditions. Kinematics is solely concerned with motion, while dynamics considers the forces involved as well. Kinematics can be measured using tools such as speedometers, accelerometers, and GPS systems.

I'm confused too. Is what you have under "relevant equations" another problem? If so, you need to post it separately. Also you need to show some effort before you can receive help. Please read the forum rules on homework help.
