how to calculate the acceleration of an object in matlab

To calculate the acceleration of an object in Matlab, you need to know its initial velocity, final velocity, and the time it takes to change velocity. The formula for acceleration is:

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

where:

  • a is the acceleration
  • v_f is the final velocity
  • v_i is the initial velocity
  • t is the time it takes to change velocity

Here's an example Matlab code to calculate the acceleration of an object:

main.m
% Define the variables
v_i = 10; % m/s
v_f = 20; % m/s
t = 5; % seconds

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

% Display the result
fprintf('The acceleration is %.2f m/s^2\n', a);

11 lines

This code will output:

main.m
The acceleration is 2.00 m/s^2
