M1

Dynamics

• The concept of a force. Newton's laws of motion
• Simple applications including the motion of two connected particles
• Momentum and impulse. The impulse-momentum principle
• The principle of conservation of momentum applied to two particles colliding directly
• Coefficient of friction

Kinematics

• Motion in a straight line with constant acceleration
• Distance, velocity and speed-time graphs

Moments

• Moment of a force

Statics

• Forces treated as vectors. Resolution of forces
• Equilibrium of a particle under coplanar forces
• Weight, normal reaction, tension and thrust, friction
• Coefficient of friction

Vectors

• Magnitude and direction of a vector
• Resultant of vectors
• Application of vectors to displacements, velocities, accelerations and forces in a plane
