Topic description
  1. Particle dynamics: Curvilinear motion, Force and acceleration, Work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum
  2. Rigid body dynamics: Planar Kinematics, Force, Torque and Acceleration, Work and Energy, Linear and Angular Impulse and Momentum
  3. Vibrations
Educational aims
This topic aims to ensure that the students understand Kinematics and Kinetics as applied to particles and rigid bodies; and vibration.
Expected learning outcomes
At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

  1. Understand the dynamic properties of particles and rigid bodies
  2. Write the relevant equations of motion associated with Force, Torque and Acceleration, Work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum
  3. Understand the creation and effects of vibration
  4. Conduct independent research into a dynamics problem to critically review, analyse, evaluate, and present findings in a structured, referenced, and well-written research report
