Course Learning Outcomes:
- Employ a variety of coordinate systems to describe the motion of particles (or system of particles, including rigid bodies) and select the most effective coordinate system for a particular problem
- Analyze the motion of a particle (or system of particles) using the force-mass-acceleration approach to generate the equations of motion.
- Apply the conservation laws (of energy, momentum, angular momentum) to aid in describing the motion of a particle or system of particles.
- Understand the difference between inertial and non-inertial forces and be able to correctly identify them with the aid of free-body diagrams.
- Apply the laws of motion and the conservation laws to describe general rigid-body motion (translation and rotation) in 1-, 2- and 3-dimensions.
