calculate acceleration in matlab

To calculate acceleration in Matlab, you need to know the change in velocity and time taken. You can use the following formula to calculate acceleration:

main.m
a = (v_f - v_i) / t
20 chars
2 lines

where:

  • a = acceleration
  • v_f = final velocity
  • v_i = initial velocity
  • t = time taken

Here's an example code in Matlab:

main.m
% initial velocity
v_i = 5;

% final velocity
v_f = 15;

% time taken
t = 2;

% calculate acceleration
a = (v_f - v_i) / t;

% display the result
disp(['The acceleration is ', num2str(a)]);
190 chars
15 lines

Output:

main.m
The acceleration is 5
22 chars
2 lines

In this example, the acceleration is 5 m/s^2 as the velocity changes from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 2 seconds.
