Impulse response? I need a bit of help with this if anyone can?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a music and English undergraduate struggling with impulse response concepts in a postgraduate program. The user seeks assistance with several exercises related to convolution and system responses, expressing confusion over mathematical concepts and terminology, such as the unit step function and how to derive answers from complex equations. They highlight a lack of proper explanation from their electrical engineering lecturer, which has compounded their difficulties. The user requests step-by-step guidance on the exercises to better understand the material. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenges faced by students transitioning into technical subjects without a strong math background.

hey, i did my undergrad in music and english and now am lost beyond reckoning with the impulse response stuff in my postgrad. Could anyone help with these exercises? They're examples from my lecture notes and have no idea how my lecturer got the answers. Please help?

Ex.1) Show that x(t)*h(t) = h(t)*x(t)
EH? ANY IDEAS?

Ex.2) The unit response of a continuous system is h(t)=3e -2t-5e -4t/sup].
If the input is modeled as x(t)= [delta](t)-2[delta](t-1)+[delta](t-2.5), find the value of the output at time=1.5s.
Ans: y(t)=0.717 at t=1.5s.

Ex.3) An electrical system has unit-impulse response h(t)= 3te -4t . If a unit step function u(t) is applied to the system, use the convolution integral to determine the value of the output after 0.25s.
Ans: 4.95 x 10 -2 V
What's the unit step function for a start?

Ex.4) Evaluate the integral [integral infinity to minus infinity] f 1 (t)f 2 (t)dt
Where f 1 = 2sin (2000[pie]t) and f 2 (t) = [delta] (t-0.25 x 10 -3 )
Ans: 2
How do they get a pure whole number out of all those symbols?

I'm doing a Music Technology course so didn't see all this maths coming at me... Thank you to anyone who can help. We have an electrical engineering lecturer and he is of the opinion that we know all of this and hasn't explained anything properly at all. I'm only a music student! So, I would really apperciate anyone who has a bit of time to go through the exercises step-by-step. Thanks
 
And we just got this exercise to look over and see if we have any problems...
Frequency Response
Ex. A pulse, modeled as the weighted impulse 2 [ delta] (t) , is applied to a system and produces the response y(t) = 6e -2t - 4e -3t . What is the frequency-response function of the system.
Ans. H (j [omega] ) = 5+j [omega] over (2+ j [omega] )(3+ j [omega] )

Any help?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
