Question continued ... then ... instead of just finding out how long it takes for the ball to hit the ground, plot velocity and displacement against time (label axes appropriately). Also consider making this a general function which can accept any inputs and test any cases.
These are the given relations
a = ((-k)/m)*(vo.^2) + g ;
a1 = (v-vo)/t ;
v = (s-so)/t ;
So far I've done what's below and I need help finishing it and fixing it up at my level of knowledge. Someone please help
clc;
clear;
%Given Variables
vo = 0;
so = 0;
ao = 0;
g = 9.81;
m = 10;
k = 5;
t = 7;
height = 5;
Total_Time = 0;
counter = 1;
%Calulate unknown variables of V2 and S2
while height > 0
v(counter) = (g - ((k/m)* (vo.^2)))*t + v(counter-1);
s(counter) = v*t + s(counter-1);
height = height - s;
Total_Time = Total_Time + t;
counter = counter + 1;
end
plot(s,v)
hold all;
set(gca, 'ylim', [0, 50]);
set(gca, 'ytick', 0:5:50) ;
set(gca, 'xlim',[0,50]);
set(gca,'xtick', 0:5:50);
xlabel('Velocity');
ylabel('Displacement');
title('Ball falling from a height of 5m');
disp('The final velocity ... final displacement ... and Total Time is: ')
disp(v);
disp(s);
disp(Total_Time);
