What you'll learn

This course is all about how forces on bodies in motion - everything from ballistics, to collisions, machines and more. This is a standard course taken by many engineering students.
I have included all my notes in two forms: unfilled (blank) and filled. I recommend the unfilled notes and then fill them in as you watch the videos.

Course content

7 sections • 43 lectures • 20h 4m total length

Introduction to Kinematics33:25
Basic Concepts to get started. I hope you have had a little Physics in the past. But if you have not, I will do my best to explain.
Straight Line Kinematics28:19
Projectile Motion26:53
More Projectile Motion30:40

Introduction to Rigid Body Kinematics13:17
Relative Velocity Analysis31:13
Relative Velocity Analysis - Analytical Method27:49
Relative Velocity Analysis - Instant Center Method22:25
I have included some additional downloadable video content for you below.
Relative Acceleration Analysis42:05
Relative Acceleration Analysis with Acceleration Polygon (Graphical method)46:26
Relative Acceleration Analysis Example with Cross Product23:09
Relative Acceleration Analysis Example with Cross Product Example 228:18
Relative Acceleration Analysis with Rotating Axes30:04
This can be very complicated and involves the Coriolis Force. I will explain when to look for this force.
Relative Acceleration Analysis with Rotating Axes Example21:43

Rigid Body Kinetics - Translation38:08
Rigid Body Kinetics - Translation Example25:58
Rigid Body Kinetics - Rotation43:34
General Motion Kinetics17:14
General Motion is a combination of translation and rotation - which is pretty much most real motion. These can be complex problems but very critical!
General Motion Kinetics - Example 149:37
General Motion Kinetics - Example 216:41
I have included the second part of the video lecture as downloadable content below.

Requirements

I would recommend my or any statics course prior to taking this course. Some background in Physics is also nice. But I try to teach you regardless of your background.

Description

This course is typically required of Mechanical Engineering students and may be taken by other engineering students. The course is all about MOTION - how to describe motion, what causes motion, and what forces come from motion. After watching my videos you will be able to analyze mechanical systems and you will begin to have the tools to design machines and other mechanical systems.

20+ hours of video instruction, all of my notes both filled and unfilled, everything I give to my students - all for you!

Who this course is for:

This course is idea for current engineering students, anyone interested in engineering and STEM concepts, and perhaps advanced high school students looking to learn more about engineering.
