    Study Notes

    Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

    • Course topics include introduction, uniform rectilinear motion, motion in a curved path, kinetics of rigid bodies, kinematics of rigid bodies, rotation of rigid bodies, and plane motion of rigid bodies.

    Motion in a Curved Path

    • Subtopics include flight of a projectile and tangential and normal components of acceleration.

    Flight of a Projectile

    • A projectile is an object thrown into space with only gravity acting on it.
    • The trajectory of a projectile is the path it follows, which is a parabola without air resistance.
    • Initial velocity (u) is the velocity with which the projectile is launched.
    • Horizontal component (ux) is ucosθ, and vertical component (uy) is usinθ.

    Formulas

    • Vertical velocity (vy) is uy - g⋅t.
    • Time of flight (T) is 2usinθ​/g.
    • Maximum height (H) is u²sin²θ / 2g.
    • Range (R) is u²sin²θ / g.
    • Maximum range is achieved at an angle of 45°.

    Motion Equations

    • Horizontal distance (x) is ux⋅t.
    • Vertical distance (y) is uy⋅t - gt².
