Question 1
A parachutist of mass 68.1 kg jumps out of a stationary hot air balloon. Given v(t)= gm/c (1-e^(-c/m)t)
and the drag coefficient is equal to 12.5kg/s. By using MATLAB, calculate v(t) when t=2.
(Chapra & Canale, 2006)
Question 2
Consider a quadratic equation as; x 2 100.0001x + 0.01 = 0 Find xs.
Question 3
Consider the function; F(x) = x (x - (x-1) Use MATLAB to calculate the value of f(x) for the following
three values of x: x = 10, x = 1000 and x = 100000.
Question 4
A parachutist of mass 68.1 kg jumps out of a stationary hot air balloon. Given v(t)= gm/c (1-e^(-c/m)t)
and the drag coefficient is equal to 12.5kg/s. By using MATLAB, calculate v(t) from t=0 till t=14. Also plot
a graph v versus t.
