The document is a final exam for an engineering dynamics module, consisting of 8 questions testing concepts related to kinematics and dynamics. Question 1 has 4 parts asking students to determine angular velocities and accelerations of links in a stone-crushing mechanism. Question 2 asks students to determine the time and distance for an airplane to decelerate from 70 m/s to 5 m/s based on a given deceleration graph. Question 3 asks students to determine the speed and furthest landing point of a kicked ball. The remaining questions cover topics such as acceleration calculations, pulley systems, spring forces, and mass accelerations. An equation sheet is provided at the end to assist with calculations.
