Question

a stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed of u, its vertically displacement s after an elapsed time t is given by the formular s= ut - gt^2/2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity air resistance is ignored, calculate the value of s over a period of 12.3 seconds at intervals of 0.1 seconds
. and plot the distance time graph over this period by writing matlab/ octave code that implements and solves rhis problem.

Answer 1

you can choose any value of u. the graph will change accordingly. in the code section the line in green should have been %say u=70 m/s instead of 50m/s, since i plotted with u=70. ignore that as a typing mistake
