Dynamics Part 1 – Motion of Particles
What is Dynamics? It’s the study of bodies in motion. We have two types of bodies: particles and rigid bodies. This course is over particles only.
Take Me to the Tutorials!

Need a Good Dynamics Book?
The book I follow in this course is Hibbeler’s Dynamics text. It is a great book with easy to follow examples. If you don’t have a book, I’d highly recommend this one.
What’s the enroll button for?
You can either watch the videos without enrolling or you can officially enroll. To enroll, you just need an email. The benefit of enrolling is that your course progress will be tracked and the site will keep track of what videos you’ve already completed. It’ll be just like taking an actual online course. So, if you’re going to go through the entire set of tutorials, you might find it useful.
