MATLAB Analyzing Falling Object w/ Linear Friction: Troubleshooting Code

[Raziel2701]

It's an object that's falling from rest. The equation takes into account linear friction. in any case, this is is my code or program of whatever it is called:

m=80;%Mass of ignorance
g=9.8;%Gravity
beta=1.6*10^-4;%Given coefficient for air at STP
D=.4;%Diameter of Palin, assuming she's a spherical object
b=beta*D;%Coefficient of linear friction
t=0:.2:60;


x=(m./b)*(g*t + e^(-b*t./m));

plot(t,x)
grid on
xlabel('time','FontSize',16)
ylabel('Position of Sarah Below Helicopter','FontSize',16)

I get this error:
Error in ==> HW13myprogram at 10
x=(m./b)*(g*t + e^(-b*t./m));

What am I doing wrong?

 

[Dr Transport]

replace your equation with

x=(m/b)*(g*t + e.^(-b*t/m));

 

[hasidim]

It worked fine for me with:

x=(m./b)*(g*t + exp(-b*t./m));
