Homework Statement
Upthrow simulation Conditions: initial velocity v=10m/s, initial height h=0m when t=0. Gravity acceleration g=10m/s2 .
Using Simulink to simulate the variation of height with time when t≥0.
Homework Equations
I figured that the governing equation should be:
Height = initial velocity (u) * time + 1/2 * acceleration * t^2
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
Height = initial velocity (u) * time + 1/2 * acceleration * t^2
Height = 10 t * 1/2 * -10 * t^2
Height = 10 t - 5 t^2
I don't have a clue on how to simulate the height of the ball since it is a second order differentiation. Since the height varies with time, then isn't it dh/dt?
So, is it:
dh/dt = 10 - 5t ?
(I pulled the t out, and made it into differentiation)
Now again, I have been taught simulink by my lecturer for a mere one hour, and I honestly am clueless on how to simulate that (if the governing equation is right).
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you.
