University Physics
Dynamics
The engineering mechanics of motion: the kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies.
Curriculum / Syllabus
- Kinematics of Particles (Rectilinear and Curvilinear Motion)
- Kinetics of Particles: Newton's Second Law
- Work and Energy Methods
- Impulse and Momentum
- Planar Kinematics of Rigid Bodies
- Planar Kinetics of Rigid Bodies
- Vibrations
Exam & Course Strategy
Exams test choosing the right coordinates (rectangular, normal-tangential or polar) and the right method. We practise recognising which tool a problem calls for before starting to calculate.
