    Description
    Studies fundamentals of kinematics and kinetics in describing the motion of particles and rigid bodies, and introduces the concepts of free and forced mechanical vibrations. Investigates kinematics principles for analyzing rectilinear and curvilinear motion of particles and plane motion of rigid bodies. Uses kinetics principles, including Newton’s laws of motion, work-energy and impulse-momentum principles, to examine causes of motion and to predict the type of motion caused by the application of forces. Studies mechanical vibrations of particles and rigid bodies in terms of simple harmonic motion.
