Methodical instructions are designed to perform calculation and graphic work in the discipline "Theoretical mechanics" for students of mechanical specialties . The methodical instructions consider the determination of kinematic characteristics of a point according to a given law of motion, the construction of the trajectory of the point's motion, the vectors of speed and acceleration, the graphs of their change, as well as the creation of an animated file of the point's motion. The use of the Mathcad system allows students to avoid difficulties with the differentiation of complex functions. get a more visual representation of the spatial trajectory of the point , direction of velocity and acceleration vectors, explore changes in kinematic characteristics over time.
