    Studying kinematics and dynamics enables us to comprehend how objects move and the forces influencing their motion. Through this study, students develop problem-solving skills applicable across various fields, including engineering and physics. Engineers utilize these principles to design efficient and safe systems, while scientists employ them to understand natural phenomena and formulate theories. 

  • Prerequisites

    Notion of  vector analysis (scalar and vector field, integrals: one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, gradient, divergence, rotational).

  • Plan of the Course

    I.          Chapter 0 : Mathematical reminders:

    1-    Equation for dimensions.

    2-     Reminder on vectors

    II.    Chapter I : Kinematics :

    1‐ Position vector in coordinate systems (Cartesian, cylindrical, etc.) - law of motion - Trajectory.

    2‐ Velocity and acceleration in coordinate systems.

    3‐ Applications: Movement of a material point in different coordinate systems.

    4‐ Relative motion.

    III.  Chapter II. Dynamics :

    1‐ Generalities : Mass ‐ Force ‐ Moment of force – Absolute and Gallilien reference frame

    2‐ Newton's laws

    3‐ Principle of conservation of momentum.

    4‐ Differential equation of motion

    5‐ Kinetic momentum

    6‐ Applications of the fundamental law for forces (constant, time-dependent, velocity-dependent, central force, etc.).

    IV. Chapter III. Work and energy :

    1‐ Work of a force

    2‐ Kinetic energy

    3‐ Potential energy – Examples of potential energy (gravity, gravitational, elastic)

    4‐ Conservative and non-conservative forces – Total energy theorem
