EMET 225Applied Dynamics

2 credits · Electro-​Mechanical Engineering Technology · Penn State

This course is designed to provide engineering technology students with knowledge in solving problems using fundamental laws and equations of motion that are applied to particles and rigid bodies. Dynamics is typically broken into two categories: (1) kinematics (the study of motion without considering the causes of the motion; and (2) kinetics (the study of motion due to applied external forces). Topics addressed in dynamics for technology include: kinematics of particles, application of Newton's laws to particles and rigid bodies, energy and momentum of particles, kinematics of rigid bodies, impact of particles and rigid bodies, and energy and momentum for rigid bodies.
