%bike, from HW due 10/29/09 %CONSISTENT UNITS: MKS %GIVEN P_p = .5 * 746 ; % one half horse power in watts m = 150/2.2 ; % mass in kg omega_f = 180*2*pi/60; % in rad/s v_final = 20 *1600/3600 % in m/s %MEASURED ON BIKE %Chain wheel with 42 teeth, freewheel with 13 teeth %Wheel with diameter of27 inches G = (13/42) * (2/27) *(39.37); % units are m^-1 % Derived quantities (depends on calculations not shown) M_0 = 4 * P_p/omega_f; %Peak applied torque A = G*M_0/m ; B = A *G/omega_f ; lambda = B ; v_0 = omega_f/G; % also, v_0 = A/B C = omega_f/G; %PLOT SOLUTION t = linspace(0,10, 1000); v = C*(1 - exp(-lambda*t)); x = C*(t + (1/lambda) * exp(-lambda*t)) ... - omega_f/(G*lambda); % constant from setting % x = 0 at t = 0. plot(t,v); title('vel vs time, m/s and seconds') figure(2) plot (t,x); title ('Position vs time, meters and seconds') t_final = -log(1 - G*v_final/omega_f)/lambda
