MET 102 - Dynamics

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

PRE: CET 101 or MET 101 Course Description This Kinematics and kinetics associated with the simple or complex motion of particles and rigid bodies based upon the principles of the differential and integral calculus. Kinematics involves analysis and quantification of position, velocity and acceleration of the body. Kinetics involves applied force, momentum, potential and kenetic energy, impulse and moment of momentum. There is extensive coverage of ballistics, relative motion and central force field problems. Course Objectives (1) Use knowledge of position to find velocity and acceleration (2) Use knowledge of acceleration to find velocity and position (3) Calculate centrifugal forces (4) Analyze the motion of projectiles (5) Calculate kinetic energy, potential energy and work (6) Calculate impulse and momentum (7) Analyze central force field motion
