3 semester hours

Course Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

Compute the kinematic vectors of a particle using fixed, rotating, and moving coordinates.
Determine the forces required to create general motion of a particle.
Find the energy at any state and the change in energy between states for systems of particles.
Use the equations of motion to describe the rate of change of the linear momentum of a system of particles.
Compute the kinematic vectors of a rigid body using fixed, rotating, and moving coordinates in two dimensions.
Use calculus to find the moment of inertia of a rigid body.
Determine the forces and moments required to create general motion of a rigid body.
Find the energy at any state and the change in energy between states for systems of rigid parts.
Use the equations of motion to describe the rate of change of the angular momentum of a system of rigid parts and particles.
