Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to teach the fundamental laws of mechanics and introduce students to the basic applications of these laws.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to analyze the motion of objects in one, two and three dimensions using the laws of kinematics
  • will be able apply Newton’s laws to solve mechanics problems.
  • • will develop a solid knowledge of the concepts of work, kinetic energy, potential energy and conservation of energy.
  • will develop a solid knowledge of the concepts of work, kinetic energy, potential energy and conservation of energy.
  • will be able discuss the rotations of rigid bodies and their dynamics.
  • will be able investigate the dynamics of objects in circular and periodic motion
Course Description Throughout this course, we will cover the subjects of motion along a straight line, motion in two and three dimensions, Newton’s laws, work and kinetic energy, potential energy and conservation of energy, momentum, collisions, dynamics of rotations, equilibrium, elasticity, gravitation and periodic motion.
