Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Utilize and apply vector quantities in components or magnitude and direction, including scalar and vector products.
2. Apply first principles of kinematics to determine the motion in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions of pointlike objectsApply the concept of relative velocity, and vector addition of motion.
3. Calculate and describe behaviour of rotating objects in a plane through rotational kinematics, including the concept of centripetal acceleration.
4. Determine the resultant acceleration due to forces using free body diagrams, and work with specific forces such as springs, gravity and friction.
5. Compute work done by a force, and describe the consequent changes in kinetic energyIdentify conservative forces and their effect on potential energy, and apply first principles to solve dynamics problems using conservation of energy principles.
6. Describe the concepts linear impulse and linear momentum, and conservation of linear momentum, and apply these principles to calculate the motion of (pointlike) objects undergoing elastic and inelastic collisions.
7. Determine the centre of mass of a system, for both discrete points and distributed objects.
8. Analyze the dynamics of rigid bodies rotating in a plane referencing the concepts of torque and rotational kinetic energyCalculate the moment of inertia of rigid bodies, and translate it using the parallel axis theorem.
9. Describe and calculate mechanical equilibrium of a system using first principles (sum of forces and torques) to solve two-dimensional statics problems.
