Introduction to the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics. Topics covered include kinematics of particles; Newton’s laws of motion, energy and momentum methods; systems of particles; planar kinematics of rigid bodies; planar dynamics of rigid bodies; forces and acceleration energy and momentum methods.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Explain basic concepts of Newton’s law, dimensions, and units.
Acquire an understanding of dynamics of particles in two and three dimensions including: kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies in 2D and 3D motion, Rotations, translations, oscillations.
Apply the principles of Work and Energy to solve dynamics problems that involve force, velocity, and displacement.
Apply the principles of Impulse and Momentum to solve dynamics problems that involve force, velocity, and time.
Apply Newtonian mechanics to model and predict the responses of simple dynamical system (particle and rigid body) subjected to applied forces.
Apply the basics of oscillations and mechanical vibrations of different systems.
