ES 2120 Dynamics
Dynamics is the study of vector dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, including impulse-momentum and work-energy application. Prerequisites:
MATH-2205 and
ES-2110. (3 lect.)
Major Topics
- Particle Kinematics
- Systems of Particles
- Planar Rigid Body Kinetics
- Mass Moment of Inertia
Outcomes
In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:
1. Apply particle kinematics concepts to rectilinear motion, curvilinear motion, and Newton’s second law.
2. Apply particle kinematics concepts to work-energy and impulse-momentum problems.
3. Apply planar rigid body kinetics to dynamic equilibrium, work-energy, and impulse-momentum problems.
4. Synthesize topics covered to solve a variety of problems involving particle and rigid body kinematics and kinetics.
