This is an introductory level course on motion of particles and rigid bodies, and forces that cause motion. In this course, Newton's Laws, energy and momentum principles will be explored and dynamic behavior of undamped and damped single degree of freedom systems will be covered.
None
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Examine planar motion of system of particles and rigid bodies by employing kinematic relationships,
- Calculate forces resulting from planar motions of system of particles and rigid bodies by applying newton's equations,
- Examine planar motion of particles and rigid bodies by using the principles of work-energy,
- Examine planar motion of particles and rigid bodies by using the principles of impulse-momentum,
- Solve undamped/damped free/forced vibration problems of single degree of freedom systems.
