Area of Study :

This course aims to: • Enrich the student's knowledge about the fundamental principles of kinematics of a rigid body. • Prepare the student to analyze the concepts of planar motion and its types (translation, rotation and general plane motion) of a rigid body or systems of connected bodies using vector and scalar methods. • Train the student to represent and apply relations of position, velocity and ac-celeration for rolling motion problems. • Prepare the student to analyze the various principles of Kinetics such as force-acceleration, work-energy and the impulse-momentum principles for various types of problems that containing the motion of a rigid body.
