This course covers the fundamental theory of the motion of bodies broken into three main modules: 1) the analysis of motion of particles (or point masses), 2) the analysis of the planar motion of bodies, 3) the analysis of general 3D motion of bodies. Each module will systematically build on the theory presented on the previous module. Each module examines the analysis of motion without considering the forces that induce the motion (kinematics) and the cause-effect analysis between forces and motion. The effect of forces on motion will be, in turn, considered from three separate but related perspectives: force, energy, and momentum. (MCH 2012)
