MATLAB: How to find the time for the max height of the rocket. MATLAB

physicsprojectilerocket

Hi there! Doing a little final practice and was asked to find the max height and the time of the max height of the rocket. I can't figure out the code for the time.
function rocket
g=9.81;
vi=50;
yi=0;
theta=(pi/3);
t=0:0.1:12;
x=vi*cos(theta)*t;
y=yi+vi*sin(theta)*t-((1/2)*g*(t.^2));
plot(t,y)
Maxheight=max([y(:)])
end

Best Answer

[Maxheight, timeindex] = max(y);
Now timeindex tells you which entry in y was maximum, and you can use that index to figure out what the corresponding time was.
