Matlab ODE Problem (paritcle trajectory)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a particle trajectory problem using MATLAB's ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) functionality. The user, intrepid44, initially seeks guidance on the correct approach to model motion before confirming their solution. The final function provided is f = @(t,z) [z(2);-1.962*z(1)-2.943], which effectively represents the motion of the particle.

Hi, I currently have this problem to solve, and I'm quite stuck. I would much appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction on how to solve it.

This is my go at it, although currently I don't have access to MATLAB until tomorrow as the university library has now closed.

Is this the correct way to get the motion? If I then turn it into a function?

Many thanks.

The last bit should be: >> f = @(t,z) [z(2);-1.962*z(1)-2.943];
 
Got it sorted, never mind.
