Dynamics refers to the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies under the action of forces. The [course_title] course starts with the basics of Newtonian mechanics and covers kinematics, motion relative to accelerated reference frames, work and energy, impulse and momentum, 2D and 3D rigid body dynamics.
Specific attention will be given to the applications in aerospace engineering including the fundamental concepts of orbital mechanics, flight dynamics, inertial navigation and attitude dynamics.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
