The velocity is equal to the rate of change of distance x (m),
(a) Substitute Eq. (1.10) and develop an analytical solution for distance as a function of time. Assume that x(0) = 0.
(b) Use Euler s method to numerically integrate Eqs. (P1.18) and (1.9) in order to determine both the velocity and distance fallen as a function of time for the first 10 s of free-fall using the same parameters as in Example 1.2.
(c) Develop a plot of your numerical results together with the analytical solution. |
