- Dynamics - n. - That branch of mechanics which treats of the motion of bodies (kinematics) and the action of forces in producing or changing their motion (kinetics). Dynamics is held by some recent writers to include statics and not kinematics.
- Dynamics - n. - The moving moral, as well as physical, forces of any kind, or the laws which relate to them.
- Dynamics - n. - That department of musical science which relates to, or treats of, the power of tones.
- Hemadynamics - n. - The principles of dynamics in their application to the blood; that part of science which treats of the motion of the blood.
- Dynamics - n. - That branch of mechanics which treats of the motion of bodies (kinematics) and the action of forces in producing or changing their motion (kinetics). Dynamics is held by some recent writers to include statics and not kinematics.
- Dynamically - adv. - In accordance with the principles of dynamics or moving forces.
- Gyrostat - n. - A modification of the gyroscope, consisting essentially of a fly wheel fixed inside a rigid case to which is attached a thin flange of metal for supporting the instrument. It is used in studying the dynamics of rotating bodies.
- Gyroscope - n. - A rotating wheel, mounted in a ring or rings, for illustrating the dynamics of rotating bodies, the composition of rotations, etc. It was devised by Professor W. R. Johnson, in 1832, by whom it was called the rotascope.
