This course offers a comprehensive study of bodies in motion, focusing on the dynamics of particle and rigid planar (2D) motion in engineering systems. It covers both kinematics and kinetics, exploring the geometrical aspects of motion and the forces affecting bodies' motion. The course assumes a solid grasp of basic engineering mechanics concepts and builds upon them to delve into the dynamics of motion.
Throughout the course, students will explore modules that delve into particle kinematics and kinetics, work-energy principles for particles and systems of particles, planar rigid body kinematics, and planar rigid body kinetics. The curriculum also covers the development of the work-energy principle, impulse-momentum relationships, and conservation of momentum for rigid bodies in 2D planar motion.
