Problem 2
Learning objectives:
o Convert a physical problem to a computational problem using a MATLAB loops and/or conditional statements.
o Correctly use variables in loops and/or conditional statements.
Task 1:
A drone is taking-off from the ground to the sky with a constant acceleration a = 31 m/s2
. The total
duration of the take-off phase is 0.6 seconds. The flight of the drone can be divided in three
segments:
Segment 1:
For the first 0.15 seconds, the drone moves up with a constant acceleration. The velocity v and the
position h of the drone as a function of time t are given by:
where t is the time in seconds. In the computer program this segment starts at t = 0 and the looping
continues as long as t ≤ 0.15 s. The velocity v and the position h at the end of this segment are v1
and h1.
