The student will be able to:

1. Objects as particles: Derive and apply the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle in rectilinear and curvilinear motion.
2. Objects as rigid bodies: Derive relations defining the velocity and acceleration of any particle on a rigid body for translation, rotation, and general plane motion.
3. Newton's second law: Apply Newton's second law to analyze the motion of both a particle in rectilinear or curvilinear translation acted upon by forces and a rigid body in plane motion acted upon by forces and moments.
4. Work and energy: Apply the method of work and energy to engineering problems modeled as a single particle, a system of particles, or a rigid body in plane motion.
5. Impulse and momentum: Apply the method of impulse and momentum to engineering problems modeled as a single particle, a system of particles, or a rigid body in plane motion.
6. Coriolis acceleration: Recognize situations in which Coriolis acceleration in plane motion is applicable.
7. Impact: Describe the difference between direct and oblique central impact and eccentric impact.
