This book presents a single semester course on Newtonian dynamics that is intended primarily for upper-division (i.e., junior and senior) undergraduate students majoring in physics. A thorough understanding of physics at the lower-division level, including a basic working knowledge of the laws of mechanics, is assumed. It is also taken for granted that students are familiar with the fundamentals of integral and differential calculus, complex analysis, ordinary differential equations, and linear...

Solving problems is the most common task used to measure understanding in technical and scientific courses, and in many aspects of life as well. In general, problem solving requires factual and procedural knowledge in the area of the problem, plus knowledge of numerous schema, plus skill in overall problem solving. Schema is loosely defined as a �specific type of problem� such as principal, rate, and interest problems, one-dimensional kinematic problems with constant acceleration, etc...

So far we have restricted ourselves to considering systems consisting of discrete objects or point-like objects that have fixed amounts of mass. We shall now consider systems in which material flows between the objects in the system, for example we shall consider coal falling from a hopper into a moving railroad car, sand leaking from railroad car fuel, grain moving forward into a railroad car, and fuel ejected from the back of a rocket, In each of these examples material is continuously flows...

In class on Friday, Mark dropped the ball as a strobe light �ashed on it and a photographic exposure was taken of the ball�s drop. The frequency of the strobe was 20 Hertz, or 20 times per second. There_fore the time between �ashes was 1/20 = 0.05 seconds. The distance between the white lines on the background board was 25 cm. We now have enough information to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity from the photograph!

We�ll now move onto the next level in the formalism of classical mechanics, due initially to Hamilton around 1830. While we won�t use Hamilton�s approach to solve any further complicated problems, we will use it to reveal much more of the structure underlying classical dynamics. If you like, it will help us understands what questions we should ask.

When the acceleration is a non-constant function, we would like to know how the x-component of the velocity changes for a time interval !t = [0, t]. Since the acceleration is non-constant we cannot simply multiply the acceleration by the time interval. We shall calculate the change in the x-component of the velocity for a small time interval !ti " [ti , ti +1] and sum over these results. We then take the limit as the time intervals become very small and the summation becomes an integral of...

Introduction and overview. In constructing the description of nature we call science it has been found useful to assume that things we observe directly with our senses are actually the combined effects of the behavior of a very large number of objects so small as to be invisible to us. That is, our senses are able to convey to us the gross aspects of things around us, but those aspects are in reality determined by the unobserved behavior of constituent microscopic objects.

The essence of dimensional analysis is very simple: if you are asked how hot it is outside,the answer is never �2 o�clock�. You�ve got to make sure that the units agree. Quantities which come with units are said to have dimensions. In contrast, pure numbers such as 2 or � are said to be dimensionless. ...

In the preceding chapter we consider closed systems !Esystem = 0 in which the only interactions on the constituents of a system were due to conservative forces. This enables us to define the concepts of potential energy and the conservation of mechanical energy. We shall now apply the Principle of Conservation of Energy to analyze the change in energy of a system and deduce how the velocity of the constituent components of a system will change between some initial state and some final state.

The air standard cycle is an approximation to the actual cycle behavior, and the term specifically refers to analysis using the following assumptions:� Air is the working fluid (the presence of combustion products is neglected)� Combustion is represented by heat transfer from an external heat source� The cycle is �completed� by heat transfer...

In this section we will discuss what Newton�s equations of motion look like in non-inertial frames. Just as there are many ways that an animal can be not a dog, so there are many ways in which a reference frame can be non-inertial. Here we will just consider one type: reference frames that rotate. We�ll start with some basic concepts.

The interplay of mathematics and physics. The �mathematization� of physics in ancient times is attributed to the Pythagoreans, who taught that everything true is contained in numbers. But the introduction of algebraic equations as a way of stating laws of nature dates from the time of Galileo. In Isaac Newton science had both a great innovator in mathematics and a great analyst and experimenter on natural phenomena.
