Aim
- give knowledge about the basic concepts in mechanics for
material systems in motion
- give knowledge and skills in engineering modeling
- develop ability to solve problems
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to explain and apply fundamental concepts as linear and
angular momentum, linear and angular impulse, moment of inertia,
energy and work for a rigid body.
- be able to use the balance equations for particles and rigid
bodies in plane motion
- be able to describe velocities and accelerations in Cartesian,
polar and natural coordinate systems
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- starting with a real situation be able to delimit a problem and
treat material bodies such as particles and rigid bodies
- be able to apply systematical methods to mechanical systems in
motion
- be able to present written solutions to dynamical problems with
suitable drawing of free body diagrams
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
- evaluate the physical consistency of the obtained results
