Module summary

Except on extremely large or on extremely small scales, all motion is governed by Newton's Laws, which give the relationship F = ma between force, mass and acceleration. Using many worked examples, we shall show how to apply these laws to simple models of the real world and we shall introduce the very fundamental and important concepts of linear momentum and energy.

Objectives

To develop a basic understanding of Newton's Laws and their applications in simple examples of dynamics, and to introduce the concepts of linear momentum and energy.

On completion of this module, students should be able to:
(a) apply vector models, learnt in MATH 0360, to models of mechanical problems in both 1-D and 2-D motion;
(b) formulate and solve both static and dynamic problems of particle mechanics;
(c) solve problems based on Newton's Laws via principles of Work, Energy and Momentum.
