Unit description	Unit description The unit examines Newton's laws in the context of engineering dynamics. The unit leads students to an understanding of Newton's laws as applied to the effect of force on solids in engineering. The unit initially examines the issues of work and energy, with a focus on impulse, momentum and impact. The unit assesses the roles of particle kinematics, particle kinetics, rigid body dynamics, plane kinematics and plane kinetics.
