Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 30ICA
If an object is heated, the temperature of the body will increase. The energy (Q) associated with a change in temperature (ΔT) is a function of the mass of the object (m) and the specific heat(Cp). In an experiment, heat is applied to the end of an object, and the temperature change at the other end of the object is recorded. This leads to the following equation.
An unknown material with a mass of = kilograms is tested in the lab, yielding the following results. Use the polyfit function to determine the specific heat of this material and store the final result in the variable Cp.
Create a proper plot of the data. Add a linear trendline, showing the resulting trend line equation, on the graph for a change in temperature over a range of energy from 5 joules to 70 joules.

Can you help me with a matlab code? I am trying to plot the keplerian orbital elements over time. I would usually find the orbit using cartesian system and then transform into keplerian orbital elements. Is there a way to directly integrate keplerian orbital elements?

The combined weight of the acrobat and his balancing pole is 900 N, and the friction between his shoes and the rope is large enough to prevent him from slipping. Neglecting the weight of the rope and any elastic deformation, determine the deflection (y) and the tension in portion AC and BC of the rope for values of x from 0.5 m to 10 m using 0.5 m increments. 1. Determine the maximum deflection (y) in the rope. 2. Plot tension of AC and BC vs. x (on the same plot with x on the x-axis). Turn in the plot and the table of x, TAC, and TBC (clearly label each).
