Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Particle dynamics in accelerating systems. Particle system and rigid body mechanics.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to:
- identify a concrete mechanical problem, and choose suitable mechanical models based on a problem description,
- translate the mechanical model into a mathematical model,
- mathematically treat the problem and critically analyze the significance of the result,
in order to use a physical mindset and communicate this within the framework of engineering science contexts.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The examiner, in consultation with the KTH coordinator for disability (Funka), decides on any adapted examination for students with documented, permanent disability. The examiner may allow another examination form when re-examining individual students.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
