Motion and Newtons Laws.jpgThis course identifies the four types of motion experienced by mechanical devices as well as looking at the three laws of motion as defined by Newton. You will also be introduced to a number of equations associated with speed, velocity and acceleration. Suitable for intermediate learners.
Introduction
There are four types of motion experienced by mechanical devices. Sometimes this motion is input, meaning it is done to the machine, and sometimes it is output, meaning the motion the machine moves as a result of the input motion.
The four types of motion are:· Linear – in a straight line, such as opening a sliding door
· Rotary – around an axis or pivot point, such as a wheel
· Reciprocating – going backwards and forwards, such as a pump
· Oscillating – swinging from side to side around a pivot point, such as a pendulum.
You will learn
- Identify the four types of motion
- Explain Newton’s three laws of motion
- Know the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object
