Is the body’s size of consequence? Make a clear distinction between rotation and curvilinear motion.) • Determine if the problem requires a kinematic or kinetic solution or both. (i.e., Does this problem involve a force analysis or just motion geometry?) • If the solution requires a kinetic solution determine which procedure is best. • Establish the proper diagrams. • Set up the basic governing equation(s).• Obtain one or two volunteers to assist with demonstrating the model.

Although some people had realized that computertechnologies would have positive impact on providing learning services, it took time to improvesoftware packages such as the human-machine interface and response time, so that users couldcontrol them easily and become more productive.
