Learning Outcomes
1. Ability to analyze plane particle motion (position, velocity and acceleration) in rectangular, normal-
tangential (path) and polar coordinates, and identify the most suitable coordinate system for a problem.
2. Ability to interrelate the three planar representations of the particle motion in different coordinate
systems.
3. Ability to analyze three-dimensional particle motion (position velocity and acceleration) in rectangular,
cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
4. Understanding of relative motion of a particle with respect to a translating coordinate system.
5. Ability to write down geometric constraint equation(s) for a system consisting of particles, and
together with the time derivatives, use them for the analysis of motion.
6. Ability to apply Newton's second law of motion to analyze instantaneous relations between forces and
acceleration characteristics of a particle, by using a free-body-diagram.
7. Understanding of work-energy principles for particles, ability to evaluate the kinetic energy of particles
as well as the potential energy associated with gravity and spring forces, and work done by forces and
ability to identify the type of particle kinetic problems for which the work-energy equation is most
suitable.

8. Understanding of impulse-momentum principles for particles, ability to evaluate the linear and angular
momentum of particles and systems of particles, as well as linear and angular impulse of forces and,
ability to identify the type of particle kinetic problems for which the impulse-momentum equations are
most suitable.

and identify the three modes of rigid body motion: pure translation, fixed axis rotation and general plane
motion.
13. Ability to analyze the velocity and acceleration characteristics of a system consisting of rigid bodies,
by using the concept of relative motion between two points on the same rigid body.

an axis, and ability to apply parallel-axis theorem for the determination of mass moment of inertia with
respect to another axis or of composite bodies.
17. Ability to apply Newton's second law of motion.
