Chapter 12 Kinematics
- One dimensional motion...location, displacement, distance, velocity,
speed, acceleration, average velocity, average speed, average acceleration
from a mathematical and graphical perspective...most problems can only be
done using calculus

projectile motion in rectangular; curvilinear coordinates,
curvature, radius of curvature, tangential and normal
components of velocity and acceleration
- three dimensional motion...cylindrical coordinates
- equations of motion, relative velocity, and relative acceleration
Chapter 13 Force: Forces, velocities, accelerations, relative
velocities, relative accelerations in
- Rectangular coordinates
- Curvilinear coordinates (tangential and normal)
- Cylindrical coordinates
- Central force problems
Chapter 16 Rigid Body Motion
- Angular velocities and angular accelerations with constraints
- Angular velocities and angular accelerations relative angular velocities
and relative angular accelerations of rigid objects linked together
(as well as these parameters applied to the links)
