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 - gâ‹…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 uxâ‹…t.
  • Vertical distance (y) is uyâ‹…t - gt².
