Concept explainers
A device constructed to throw various objects can impart up to 500 joules of kinetic energy to the object being thrown. For a given mass, there is a maximum velocity that the device can throw the object. This is represented in the following diagram, and it fits a power law model. Velocities above the line cannot be achieved by the device, velocities below the line can.
Write a MATLAB program that will accept a value of mass [kg] and desired velocity [m/s] from the user and classify them as “Possible” or “Not Possible.” Three points on the line are labeled on the diagram. You must use polyfit to determine the equation of the line, and then use these values to do the classification.

- I could really use some assistance on part b,c,d,e,farrow_forwardHelp me solve this using MATLABarrow_forwardYou walk along the beach towards a dock while your friend rows a boat towards the same dock on a flat lake. Your friend's boat approaches the dock on a straight course, but also rotates about its center-of-mass since your friend is not pulling evenly on the oars. If you knew your own velocity (vwalker), the magnitude of boat's angular velocity (thetaboat), and radius vector from yourself to your friend in the boat (rfriend) at any given time, you could use the following equation to calculate the your friend's velocity: vfriend = vwalker + (thetaboat)k x rfriend where k is a unit vector in the vertical direction.

- Solve the branch carrow_forward2. This problem has to do with the motion of a car along a straight road. The mass of the car is m, its drag resistance is Cd, the rolling resistance of the tires is pr. Choose any car that you'd like to analyze and obtain its data (cite your source). Look up typical values of rolling resistance. For the MATLAB portions, explore these questions for different values of mass of the car (which would depend on the number of passengers and luggage in the car) and the rolling resistance (which would depend on the inflation pressure of the tires) (a) Determine the differential equation if the car is traveling along a flat road. (b) Determine the traction force corresponding to speed ve. (c) (MATLAB) Determine the 0-60 mph time and distance. (d) (MATLAB) Determine the velocity and distance as a function of time if the car is to be started from rest and is supplied with the tractive force for 30 mph. (e) (MATLAB) If the car is travelling at a steady speed 30 mph and it's to be sped up to 60…arrow_forwardMatlab code pleasearrow_forward
