DYNAMICS

Movement of a rigid body along a straight path.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

Movement of a rigid body along a curved

path.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

Velocity changes in direction but may

be constant in magnitude.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

Acceleration has two components:

tangential and normal.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

All points on the body have the same velocity and acceleration.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

Velocity (v) and acceleration (a) are constant in magnitude and direction.

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Position

• Angular Coordinate

Represents the angular position of a line

in the rigid body relative to a fixed line.

• Circular Motion

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Coordinate

This is used to describe the rotational position of objects, such as

gears, wheels, celestial bodies, and components of mechanical systems.

• Circular Motion

• Curvilinear Translation

• Rectilinear Translation

• Angular Coordinate

The angular

coordinate (displacement) is expressed in:

• Radians

• Rads/sec

• Degrees

• rads/sec^2

It is the vector product of the angular velocity of the body and the position vector of the particle

• Velocity of a Particle

• Angular Acceleration

• Linear Motion

• Angular Coordinate
