MATLAB: How to display velocity for each loop at 20 seconds

for loop

Here is the code ive been using :
Time=20; %Time the jumper free-falls
Cd=[0.25,.50,.75]; %varying coefficients of drag in kg/m
m=[40,60,80]; %varying masses in kg
g=9.81; %accleration of jumper due to gravity
n=100; %number steps
deltaT=Time/(n-1);
v(1)=0; %initialVelocity
t=linspace(0,Time,n); %the time interval of the jumper
for j=1:3 hold on for i=2:n
v(i)=v(i-1)+(g-(Cd(j)/m(2))*v(i-1)*abs(v(i-1)))*deltaT;
end vj=v; plot(t,vj) end fprintf('%.0fm/s\n',vj(:,1)) fprintf('%.0m/s\n',vj(,2))

Best Answer

You have an error in your code:
fprint('%.0m/s\n', vj(,2)
This code should work for you:
Time=20; %Time the jumper free-falls
Cd=[0.25,.50,.75]; %varying coefficients of drag in kg/m
m=[40,60,80]; %varying masses in kg
g=9.81; %accleration of jumper due to gravity
n=100; %number steps
deltaT=Time/(n-1);
v(1)=0; %initialVelocity
t=linspace(0,Time,n); %the time interval of the jumper
for j=1:3
  hold on
  for i=2:n
    v(i)=v(i-1)+(g-(Cd(j)/m(2))*v(i-1)*abs(v(i-1)))*deltaT;
  end 
  vj=v;
  plot(t,vj)
end
fprintf('%.0f m/s\n',vj(1))
fprintf('%.0f m/s\n',vj(2))
