Dynamics of Multiple-Body System and Law of
Professor Shankar elucidates the dynamics of multi-body systems, deriving the center of mass and applying the Law of Conservation of Momentum to phenomena such as the rocket equation and various types of collisions, including perfectly elastic and inelastic cases.
The dynamics of a many-body system is examined. Through a variety of examples, the professor demonstrates how to locate the center of mass and how to evaluate it for a number of objects. Finally, the Law of Conservation of Momentum is introduced and discussed. The lecture ends with problems of collision in one dimension focusing on the totally elastic and totally inelastic cases.
This course was recorded in Fall 2006.
