differentiate v(t) = v0 * (1-(t/t).^4).^2 when t = 20 t = 50 v0 = 9.7 in matlab

To differentiate the given function, we need to use the chain rule and power rule of derivatives. Here is the code to differentiate the function and plot its derivative between t = 20 and t = 50 with v0 = 9.7:

main.m
% Given parameters
v0 = 9.7;
t = linspace(20, 50); % create a vector of t values between 20 and 50

% Define the function
v = @(t) v0.*(1 - (t./t).^4).^2; % v(t) function

% Differentiate the function
dv = @(t) -16*v0*(t.^3).*(1 - (t./t).^4); % v'(t) function

% Plot the function and its derivative
hold on % to plot both functions in same figure
plot(t, v(t), 'LineWidth', 2) % plot v(t)
plot(t, dv(t), 'LineWidth', 2) % plot v'(t)

% Add labels and legend
xlabel('t')
ylabel('v(t), v''(t)')
legend('v(t)', 'v''(t)')
519 chars
20 lines

The resulting plot will show both the function and its derivative over the given range of t.
