By
the end of this course the student should be able to:
0.
Describe
in words at least 5 natural and 10 manmade dynamical (mechanical) systems.
1.
Describe
the position, velocity and acceleration of a particle (kinematics) in both rectilinear
and curvilinear motion.
2.
Apply
principles learned in Statics to produce appropriate free-body diagrams for
dynamic systems.
3.
Apply
Newton’s 2nd Law to systems consisting of simple particles in both
rectilinear and curvilinear motion.
4.
Quantify
relationships among forces, work and kinetic and potential energy and apply
these principles to the solution of problems where appropriate.
5.
Apply
the principle of impulse and momentum to the interaction of bodies, including
impacts and mass flows.
6.
Explain
the difference between particle dynamics and rigid body dynamics and be able to
decide when one or the other is an appropriate description.
7.
Quantify
the kinematics of rigid bodies, including positions, velocities and
accelerations.
8.
Use
the concepts of instantaneous centers and moving reference frames.
9.
Compute
the moment of inertia of simple objects and shapes.
10.
Apply
equations of motion to planar dynamics of rigid bodies.
11.
Apply
conservation of energy and momentum to rigid bodies.
