ENGINEERING MECHANICS (CE 101): Kinetics of Particles

Dynamics in Motion: Understanding Particle Kinetics

This chapter, Kinetics of Particles: Force, Acceleration, Energy and Momentum, delves into the dynamic analysis of particles by connecting forces with the resulting motion. It bridges the gap between statics (where forces are balanced) and dynamics (where forces cause acceleration).

We explore Newton’s Second Law in various coordinate systems, understand the work-energy principle, and analyze momentum and impulse relationships. The chapter introduces fundamental conservation laws that are crucial for solving dynamic problems in engineering.

From rectilinear motion to complex curvilinear trajectories, this chapter provides the analytical tools needed to predict and analyze the motion of particles under various force systems, making it essential for mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering applications.
