Introduction

1.: The principles of dynamics were used to predict the___________________________ of the ___________________________________ _____________________________________ during boost, in orbit, and while landing.
2.: _____________________________________is one of the sciences underlying the__________________________________ of all vehicles and machines.

Engineering and Mechanics

1.: Modern engineers develop ______________________________ ___________________________ to predict the behavior of their designs.
2.: Statics is the study of________________________ in _________________________.
3.: Dynamics is the study of ____________________________ in ________________________.

1.

The following steps apply to many dynamics problems.

_____________________ _____ _______________________that is given.
_____________________ _____ _______________________for the problem.
Whenever you can, try to _____________________ _____ _______________________ .
_____________________ _____ _______________________ , and whenever possible,_____________________ _____ _______________________ and ___________________ them with your _______________________________.

1.: The use of a programmable calculator or a computer with problem-solving software such as Mathcad or Matlab is convenient but you should not become too reliant on these tools. Write the reason for this below.

1.: In this book, sections called ______________________ ______ ____________________ describe how dynamics is applied in various fields of engineering.
2.: Some problems emphasize two essential aspects of engineering: _____________________________ and _______________________.

1.: Space simply refers to the ____________________- ______________________ _______________________ in which we live.
2.: The abbreviation for the International System of units is ______________________.
3.: In SI units the unit of length is the __________________________, abbreviated by ________________________________.
4.: In U.S. Customary Units, the unit of length ______________________________is the , abbreviated by ______________________________.
5.: In SI units, the velocity is expressed in ____________________________, abbreviated by ________________________________, and the acceleration is expressed in ____________________ ______________________, abbreviated by _______________________________.
6.: In U.S. Customary units, the velocity is expressed in ______________________________, abbreviated by ____________________________, and the acceleration is expressed in __________________________________, abbreviated by ___________________________.

1.: Write Newton's three laws of motion below.
2.: Write the condition under which Newton's second law reduces to ``the sum of the forces is equal to the product of the mass of the particle and its acceleration.''
3.: In SI units, the unit of mass is the ______________________, abbreviated by __________________________________, and the unit of force is the ________________________, abbreviated by ____________________________, which is the force required to give a mass of one ______________________ an acceleration of one ______________________.
4.: In U. S. Customary units, the unit of force is the _______________________________, abbreviated by _________________________________, and the unit of mass is the _____________________________________, abbreviated by ________________________________, which is the amount of mass accelerated at one ____________________________________ by a force of one ___________________________________.
5.: Newton's laws fail under either of two conditions. List these two conditions below.

1.: Draw Figure 1.1 below.
2.: Write the expression for the gravitational force F between the two particles.
3.: G is called the _________________________ _______________________________ .
4.: The acceleration of a particle due to gravity at sea level is denoted by ___________________________________________.
5.: At sea level, the weight of an object is given in terms of its mass by the simple relation,
6.: In SI units g =______________________________ while in U.S. Customary units, g = ______________________________.

1.: Make sure you understand what is meant by significant digit and round off. That is, given a particular number, can you tell the number of significant digits, and can you round off a given number to a specified number of significant digits?

1.: Complete the following table.
Prefix Abbreviation Multiple
nano-
micro-
milli-
kilo-
mega-
giga-

1.: In both SI and U.S. Customary units, angles are normally expressed __________________________in abbreviated by _____________________________.

1.: Make sure that given a conversion table, such as Table 1.2, you can convert from one set of units to another.
