how to find acceleration using time and initial velocity in matlab

To find the acceleration given the initial velocity and time in MATLAB, you can use the following formula:

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, and t is time.

However, if the final velocity is not given, you can use the following formula instead:

main.m
a = (2 * (d - v_i * t)) / (t^2)
32 chars
2 lines

where d is the distance traveled.

Below is sample code that calculates the acceleration from given values of v_i and t using the first formula:

main.m
% initial velocity in m/s
v_i = 10;

% time in seconds
t = 5;

% final velocity in m/s
v_f = 20;

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

% display the result
fprintf('The acceleration is %.2f m/s^2.\n', a);
215 chars
15 lines

This will output:

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

Note that the fprintf function is used to format the output to two decimal places.
