 MATLAB statement representing the system:

Example:

If the system is defined as:

Free body diagrams:

Complex conjugate

Command:

impulse(sys) :
y = impulse(sys) :

- plot of unit-impulse response

- no plot, response is represented in y

Impulse input:

- system is subjected to very large force for very short time

- examples: a system hit by a hammer or a bullet
- mathematically such conditions are approximated by an impulse function
- for impulse functions only the magnitude (h t) is relevant not the actual shape

Law of conservation of momentum:

- momentum of a mass m moving at a velocity v is mv
- Newton's second law:

Without any external force

or
this principle is called the law of conservation of momentum.

Obtaining response to arbitrary input

Command:

if initial conditions of the system are zero

lsim(sys, u, t) or lsim(num, den, u, t)
produces the response of a linear, time-invariant system to arbitrary inputs
where u is the input and the results are plotted
alternatively
y = lsim(sys, u, t)
or
[y, t] = lsim(sys, u, t) or

y = lsim(num, den, u, t)
[y, t] = lsim(num, den, u, t)

produces the output response y without plot.

plot of responses of 2 or more systems:
lsim(sys1, sys2, , u, t)

Ramp response
Command:

lsim(sys, u, t)

with u = u(t) = t
