Question from matlab Worksheet:
How would you code and solve this in matlab ?
Thank you.
Suppose you work for a company that produces packaging. You are told that a new packaging material can protect a package when dropped, provided that the package hits the ground at less than 25 ft/sec. The package’s total weight is 20 lb, and it is rectangular with dimensions of 12 by 12 by 8 in.
You must determine whether the packaging material provides enough protection when the package is carried by a delivery person.
To provide your answer, create a variable ep = 'yes' or 'no'
[Hint: estimate the maximum height (h) the package can fall from neglecting the air drag]

Hello Thomas --
As this is your homework assignment. Therefore we cannot provide you with a direct answer due to plagarism. However, here are the steps that you can follow:
- Convert the dimensions of the package to consistent units (e.g., inches to feet) for the calculations.
- Calculate the potential energy of the package when it falls from the maximum height (h) using the formula PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the package and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
- Calculate the velocity of the package when it hits the ground using the formula v = sqrt(2gh), where h is the maximum height.
- Check if the velocity is less than 25 ft/sec.
- Set the value of the variable "ep" to 'yes' if the velocity is less than 25 ft/sec, or 'no' otherwise.
I hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, his steps 1 and 2 are not necessary. You simply need his formula from step 3.
