Chapter 5 Problem 5.42

Question

A projectile is launched with a velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. Create a Simulink model to solve the projectile’s equations of motion, where x and y are the horizontal and vertical displacements of the projectile.

\(\ddot{x}=0 \quad x(0)=0 \quad \dot{x}(0)=100 \cos 30^{\circ}\)

\(\ddot{y}=-g \quad y(0)=0 \quad \dot{y}(0)=100 \sin 30^{\circ}\)

Use the model to plot the projectile’s trajectory y versus x for \(0 \leq t \leq 10 \mathrm{~s}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A projectile is launched with a velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. Create a Simulink model to solve the projectile’s equations of motion, where x and y are the horizontal and vertical displacements of the projectile.\(\ddot{x}=0 \quad x(0)=0 \quad \dot{x}(0)=100 \cos 30^{\circ}\)\(\ddot{y}=-g \quad y(0)=0 \quad \dot{y}(0)=100 \sin 30^{\circ}\)Use the model to plot the projectile’s trajectory y versus x for \(0 \leq t \leq 10 \mathrm{~s}\).
From the textbook chapter Block Diagrams, State-Variable Models, and Simulation Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
