8: Particle Kinematics
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 8.1: Video Introduction to Chapter 7
- Video introduction to the topics to be covered in this chapter: continuous motion in one and two dimensions (discussing multiple coordinate systems), one-dimensional non-continuous motion, dependent and relative motion.
- 8.2: One-Dimensional Continuous Motion
- Quantifying one-dimensional continuous motion of a particle in terms of its position, velocity and acceleration as functions of time. Includes worked examples.
- 8.3: One-Dimensional Noncontinuous Motion
- Describing one-dimensional noncontinuous motion of an object in terms of its position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time. Includes worked examples.
- 8.4: Two-Dimensional Kinematics with Rectangular Coordinates
- Analyzing two-dimensional kinematics problems in the Cartesian plane; separating position, velocity, and acceleration into xxx and yyy components. Includes worked examples.
- 8.5: Two-Dimensional Kinematics with Normal-Tangential Coordinates
- Overview of the normal-tangential coordinate system. Calculating velocity and acceleration of an object in motion, in terms of the normal and tangential directions. Includes worked examples.
- 8.6: Two-Dimensional Motion with Polar Coordinates
- Overview of the polar coordinate system. Calculating the velocity and acceleration of a object in motion in a polar coordinate system as functions of time, in terms of angle to the xxx-axis and distance from the origin. Includes worked examples.
- 8.7: Dependent Motion Systems
- Analyzing dependent motion systems and determining their constraints. Includes worked example.
- 8.8: Relative Motion Systems
- Analysis of relative motion in multi-object systems, in one and two dimensions. Includes worked examples.
