Kinetics of Particles by Newton's Second Law - Engineering Mechanics (Dynamics)

This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to tackle various engineering and scientific problems involving kinetics of particles, which is the branch of mechanics that deals with the relation between the forces acting on a particle and its resulting motion. From the basics of mechanics, dynamics, and kinetics to getting comfortable with Newton's second law and momentum methods, you will clearly understand how forces cause motion. Boost your problem-solving skills and open up new career opportunities in fields like aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, chemistry, and more. Imagine being able to predict how a ball flies through the air, or understanding why a car behaves the way it does in a crash. This course helps you do these and many more! By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Explain the fundamentals of mechanics, dynamics, and kinetics - Use Newton's second law to analyze how forces make bodies speed up or slow down - Learn about energy, how forces do work, and how these relate to motion of bodies - Figure out how collisions work and what motion happens before and after collisions This course is designed for students, engineers, scientists, and anyone who is interested in learning the basics of kinetics of particles. The course assumes that you have a basic background in calculus, physics, vector algebra, and statics. Once enrolled, you have access to dynamic video lessons, interactive quizzes, and live chat support for an immersive learning experience. You engage with clear video explanations, test your understanding with instant-feedback quizzes and interact with our expert instructor and peers in the chat room. Join a supportive learning community to exchange ideas, ask questions, and collaborate with peers as you master the material, by enrolling right away.
