Use MATLAB to generate the step response of the following systems.

Find the rise time and percent overshoot (if applicable). 20 a. H (s ) = (s + 2) 10 b. H (s ) = 2 s + 10s + 100
% find the step response of the following two systems % first-order system num = [20]; den = [1 2]; tt = 0:0.01:2; figure; subplot(2,1,1); step(num,den,tt); title('Step Response of First-Order System') % second-order system num = [10]; den = [1 10 100]; tt = 0:0.01:2; subplot(2,1,2); step(num,den,tt); title('Step Response of Second-Order System') axis([0 2 0 0.12]);

The rise time and the percent overshoot can be found from the following plots.

Alternatively, we can use more sophisticated MATLAB code to find out the rise times and percent overshoot for us. Type help function_name to learn more about MATLAB functions.
