Mechanics and Relativity 2

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Mechanics and Relativity 2
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. use models (e.g., free body diagrams, graphs, equations) to explain how interactions between particles/objects in a system are due to the forces and the changes in energies between those particles/objects with respect to an inertial frame; 2. use models (e.g., free body diagrams, graphs, equations) to explain how Newton's laws of motion describe the mathematical relationships regarding the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration; 3. use models (e.g., free body diagrams, graphs, equations) to explain how total (translational and angular) momentum for a system of particles/objects are conserved when there is no net force acting on the system; 4. use models (e.g., free body diagrams, graphs, equations) to explain how energy, at the macroscopic scale, can be accounted for as a combination of the energies associated with the (translational, oscillatory, rotational) motions and relative positions of particles/objects; 5. use models (e.g., free body diagrams, graphs, equations) to explain how Newton's Laws of Gravitation can be used to describe and predict the gravitational forces between particles/objects (e.g., asteroids, planets), in addition to their locations and motions.
Omschrijving	This course addresses topics in special relativity and mechanics at varying levels of mathematical complexity. While these topics are connected to each other, they can be studied independently. The topics include: Newtonian mechanics of particles/objects (vectorial form of Newton's laws, Cartesian and polar coordinates, statics, projectile motion, work, kinetic energy, potential energy and momentum, conservation laws, collisions, simple harmonic oscillators, fictitious forces, and dynamics of rigid bodies that address angular momentum, moment of inertia, torque, conservation of angular momentum) in two dimensions and/or three dimensions.
