ME 242 - Dynamics

Credits: 3

Description
Engineering analysis of bodies in motion in both two- and three-dimensions; analysis of the kinematic and kinetic principles for both particles and rigid bodies; the development and utilization of the concepts of force and acceleration, work, energy, impulse, momentum and impact.
