Catalog Description

Dynamics of particles: Rectilinear and curvilinear motion, Newton's laws, momentum and angular momentum methods. Work and energy. Dynamics of rigid bodies; kinematics, Euler's Laws, angular momentum. Work and energy methods for rigid bodies.

Course Objectives

This course teaches students how to apply Newtonian physics to analyze simple mechanical systems. Some of the topics covered are kinematics and kinetics for particles, systems of particles and rigid bodies. The course is restricted mostly to two-dimensional motion.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Analyze particle motion in rectangular, normal-tangential, and polar coordinates,
2. Apply Newton's second law of motion, work-energy principles, and impulse-momentum principles to particle kinetic problems,
3. Analyze the three modes of rigid body motion in planar space: pure translation, fixed axis rotation, and general plane motion,
4. Evaluate the velocity and acceleration characteristics of a system consisting of particles and rigid bodies, by using the concept of relative motion,
5. Apply Newton's second law of motion, work-energy principles, and impulse-momentum principles to rigid body systems,
6. Use engineering software tools to solve dynamics problems of particles and rigid body systems.
