PHYS 3400 - Classical Mechanics

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Physics

Description:

Study of Newtonian Mechanics, work and energy, systems of particles, Lagrange's and Hamilton's equations, harmonic oscillators, accelerated reference frames, and rigid body rotations. Offered upon sufficient student need. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Apply Newtonian and Lagrangian formulations and mechanics to various physical systems. 2. Demonstrate understanding of conservation laws, their utility, and their roots in symmetries of variational principles. 3. Map mechanical systems to mathematical representations and analyzing the resulting mathematical model. 4. Demonstrate understanding of basic analytic geometry, vector analysis and ordinary differential equations. Prerequisite: PHYS 2220 (Grade C or higher).
