Mechanical Systems

Circular Motion

• Circular motion 1: velocity, centripetal acceleration, and force,

• Circular motion 2: the resultant force of (2 or more external forces) provides the centripetal force required

• Linear and Circular Quantities:

Gravity

• Newton's Law of gravitation

• Gravitational Fields

• Satellite Motion - gravity provides the centripetal force.

Rotating Systems

• Rotational Motion with Constant Angular Acceleration: kinetics equations in rotation

• Linear and Rotational Quantities

• Torque and Inertia : Newton's 2nd Law of Motion in Rotation

• Conservation of Angular Motion

• Conservation of Energy: linear and rotational kinetic energy
